  • (1888PressRelease) January 03, 2014 - Parsippany, NJ - Eric J. Barr, CPA/ABV/CFF, CVA, CFE, Co-Managing Member, Fischer Barr & Wissinger LLC, www.fbwcpas.com co-authored the article "Measuring Damages When a Partner Leaves a CPA Firm," published in the December 2013 issue of The CPA Journal.

    The CPA Journal is a national publication of the New York State Society of CPAs (NYSSCPA) and provides its readers with insight and analysis on developments in the areas of accounting, auditing, taxation, finance, management, technology, and professional ethic.

    Partner turnover in CPA firms is occurring more frequently due to changes in accounting firm economic models. As stated in the article, "Due to company mergers and firm specialty changes, turnover occurs more frequently- becoming a partner no longer means lifetime employment at the firm."

    When a partner leaves a CPA firm, the non-solicitation, non-service and liquidated provisions of CPA firm partnership agreements become critically important to the firm and the departing partner. The article analyses such partnership agreement provisions under New York law, and the circumstances which might cause such provisions to be unenforceable.
