ACC’s focus on privilege protection led us to look into the evolving (devolving?) relationship between lawyers and auditors for the company, but what we found takes us far beyond problems that arise in the context of auditor access to confidential or privileged files: additional dissatisfactions permeate the relationship. This program will present the results of this year’s examination of how to improve lawyer-auditor rapport and propose ideas to help facilitate the important work that lawyers and auditors should be working together to accomplish. We’ll look at privilege protection, contract terms, indemnification/liability assumptions, investigation techniques, and more.
