Need help and opinions on this from you USPAP junkies out there.
Long and the short I have had an employee for 7 years and will now be parting ways and will go out on their own. What part and to what extent does the former or soon to be former employee have to files. Including notes and workfile. My understanding is that it stays with the company and if she needs a file I will provide it. The arguement is that I already have an electronic copy of the files so why shouldn't I just give the hard copies to her. From a company standpoint I think they should stay as part of the company work file and all. If she needs a copy of notes I will provide it to her? He comment is that then she will just go through them all and take her notes from each file?
Any thoughts let me know
TIA Pat,
