When an external auditor requests financial information from a client’s counsel regarding a legal proceeding, a delicate balance must be struck. The challenge lies in providing the auditor with enough detail to support the preparation and review of financial statements, while safeguarding attorney-client privilege and minimizing the risk divulging too much information. The American Bar Association (ABA) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) established a framework known as the Treaty to strike a balance between auditor’s need for information and attorney’s duty to safeguard client confidentiality. However, in recent years, auditors have increasingly pushed for more information from attorneys than the Treaty prescribes, aiming to gain deeper insights into the risks associated with a company’s loss contingency disclosures.

Crafting an effective demand letter requires a carefully considered tone and well-structured content, ensuring the best chance of resolving claims before litigation escalates.
