Purpose, Output of the Engagement
Centennial Accounting Group will provide professional services at your request. Once you have engaged with us to maintain the specified scope of services, you will review and approve all transaction classifications, and account codes determined or changed by our firm. Without limiting the extent of the work we may provide for you, we will perform only the specified services at the specified intervals for the engagement.
Service & Agreement
Centennial Accounting Group will always stand behind the quality and professional nature of the services that we offer. If at any point you are not completely satisfied with the services we have performed, we encourage you to bring this to our attention immediately. We’d love the opportunity to correctly address your concerns and allow us a chance to win your trust back and prevent similar problems from happening in the future. If you are still not satisfied with the outcome of our services, we will work towards a mutual agreement regarding the payment for services completed. As an example, we may agree to either forgive the related payment or accept a portion of the originally agreed price that reflects your level of satisfaction.
Confidentiality; Our Proprietary Information & Privacy
In conducting our engagement, information acquired by us in the course of the engagement is subject to strict confidentiality requirements. That information will not be disclosed by us to other parties except as required or allowed for by law, or with your express written consent. This applies even if you are no longer a client. We are committed to safekeeping of your confidential information and we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect it. However, we may be required by law to disclose what may otherwise be considered confidential information of yours if requested by the IRS or federal government, or if you disclose that information to a third party. You assume all responsibility relating to adherence with privacy and disclosure requirements relating to the use and sharing of information in your industry. If your business or industry requires greater privacy or security protections than those provided in this letter, it is your responsibility to ensure that your disclosure of information to us is in compliance with such requirements, and you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless in connection with any claims arising from your failure to do so. You acknowledge that the proprietary information, documents, materials, management techniques, and other intellectual property we use are a material source of the services we perform and that these were developed prior to our association with you. Any new forms, software, documents, or intellectual property we develop in this engagement for your use shall belong to us, and you shall have the limited right to use them solely within your business.
Communications
In connection with this engagement, we may communicate with you or others via email transmission. As emails can be intercepted and read, disclosed, or otherwise used or communicated by an unintended third party, or may not be delivered to each of the parties to whom they are directed and only to such parties, we cannot guarantee or warrant that emails from us will be properly delivered and read only by the addressee. Therefore, we specifically disclaim and waive any liability or responsibility whatsoever for interception or unintentional disclosure of emails transmitted by us in connection with the performance of this engagement.
Accuracy of Information Provided
Our engagement is limited to the period and the professional services indicated herein for the specified period. We will rely on the accuracy and completeness of the documents and information you provide to us. Accordingly, our engagement cannot be relied upon to disclose errors, fraud, or other illegal acts that may exist. However, it may be necessary to ask you for clarification of some of the information you provide, and we will inform you of any material errors, fraud or other illegal acts that come to our attention, unless they are clearly inconsequential. In addition, we have no responsibility to identify and communicate significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in your internal controls as part of this engagement, and our engagement cannot, therefore, be relied upon to make disclosure of such matters.
Governing Law; Venue;
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the state where the office of Centennial Accounting Group that primarily provides the services under this engagement is located, without reference to rules governing choice of laws. Any action relating to this Agreement must be brought in the federal or state courts located in the state referenced in the foregoing sentence, and both parties irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such courts. If either party brings an action against the other concerning the outcome, quality or timeliness of our performance of services or other matters related to this engagement.
