As an accountant, your professional designation is not just a title—it’s a symbol of trust, integrity, and expertise. A regulatory complaint or investigation can threaten everything you’ve built. Whether you’re a CPA, tax advisor, auditor, or forensic accountant, even a single allegation can result in severe professional and reputational consequences.
At Tamir Litigation, we provide skilled, strategic legal defence for accountants facing professional discipline and regulatory scrutiny. If you’re being investigated by the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario (CPA Ontario) or another governing body, we’re here to help you protect your license, your reputation, and your career.
We Represent Accountants in Matters Including:
Why a Regulatory Complaint is Serious
- Allegations of professional misconduct or incompetence
- Breach of CPA Code of Professional Conduct
- Client complaints involving negligence, errors, or miscommunication
- Failure to maintain confidentiality or independence
- Audit or tax compliance irregularities
- Financial reporting and disclosure issues
- Practice reviews or audit inspections
- Disciplinary proceedings before CPA Ontario’s Discipline or Appeal Committees
We also assist accountants with regulatory registration matters, license suspensions, and reinstatement applications.
Even if the complaint seems minor or unfounded, regulatory proceedings can lead to:
- Formal investigations and audits
- Suspension or revocation of your license
- Financial penalties and cost orders
- Public discipline decisions posted online
- Lasting reputational harm that impacts your practice or employment
Responding incorrectly,or too latecan make the situation worse. That’s why early, experienced legal advice is essential.
