B. Management is responsible for the fair presentation in the financial statements to conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In that regard, we will assist Company in recording and adjusting Company books to arrive at appropriate account balances from which internally generated financial statements can be prepared. Company agrees to provide CFO with any information needed to properly prepare the financial statements.
C. CFO will not be “independent” in the accountancy sense of that term regarding this engagement and will issue a disclaimer opinion.

E. Upon completion of our on-going monthly services we will return the Company's records provided and will provide Company with applicable general ledgers, journals, adjusting journal entries, and depreciation schedules for internal reporting purposes. It is Company’s responsibility to retain and preserve all such records for possible future use, including potential examination by any government or regulatory agency.

In preparing the returns, we will endeavor to apply the current tax rules in your favor whenever there is reasonable justification for it, and we will complete the tax returns in a manner that in our judgment minimizes the likelihood of a tax audit. However, because the taxing authorities use a number of unpublished audit selection criteria including some based on random selection, there is always a chance that they may want to question or otherwise verify your reported information. Should you be selected for an audit or receive some other type of tax notice we will be available under a separate engagement to act on your behalf in resolving it.
I. In a separate engagement we will perform accounting due diligence on any future acquisitions and you should consult an attorney related to legal services or legal due diligence that maybe necessary during the course of any future acquisitions.
