How do I deal with an unethical accountant?

Question

This gentleman is the trustee of an insurance trust of which I am the income beneficiary. He is the managing partner of a large accounting firm in New York.

He has only sent me the income once out of the four years I have been eligible to collect. I do not want have to incur anymore legal expenses trying to get this guy to comply.

Is there a State Board of Accounting in New York?

Answer 1

Accountants are licensed by the state just as many other professionals are. That office would be where you might start the process of filing a complaint. Be sure you have your facts well documented, & what acts of the accountant have been unethical, as opposed to negligent (there is a difference, tho both are bad)
