for them; and there are 300,000 shares outstanding. Spotless is an audit client of the
firm, and Kimball does no work or consulting for Spotless engagements.

maintaining the firm's independence with Spotless?

engagements for Spotless, then the shares must be promptly sold to preserve the firm's independence.

be impaired.
The shares must be sold within 30 days of their receipt.
