To expand the list of those who can collect damages from a certified public accountant (CPA) who commits professional malpractice or negligence. Under current law, only a direct client can collect. The bill would also allow collections by a person for whose benefit and guidance the client intends to supply information, or a person who relies on the CPA’s information in a specific transaction in which the CPA intends to influence the person.
