Andy Simmons is a CPA with his own accounting and tax practice. He occasionally does an audit for small business clients. One day an audit client shows Andy a letter from the local Property Tax Assessor’s office. It seems the client inquired about the process to be followed to appeal the 20 percent increase in his property taxes. He already wrote an appeal letter and was denied. The letter said that most folks who appeal those decisions hire a CPA to represent them before the administrative board in property tax assessment hearings. If your client asks you to represent him in the appeal process, can you do so under the AICPA Code? Explain.
