查看答案解析

【答案】C

【解析】Option C is correct and not identified as a relevant reason for communicating with the former accountants.

Options A, B and D are incorrect because they are all discussed as relevant reasons for communicating with the former accountant as follows: It has long been considered a matter of etiquette for a proposed successor to communicate with his or her predecessor before accepting a professional assignment. Solicitation occurs when a member takes another accountant’s client without first informing the former accountant.

Therefore, communication with the former accountant serves as an effective safeguard to avoid the appearance of solicitation. Communication also provides the proposed successor accountant with the opportunity to ascertain whether there are professional reasons why the appointment should not be accepted.
