BDO Seidman LLP sues the AICPA, its Web portal and a
group representing state societies participating in a related business
venture with the Institute. The suit alleges the CPA2Biz portal
unfairly competes against BDO Seidman and other firms providing online
consulting and assorted services similar to those CPA2Biz offers.
According to published reports, CPA2Biz’s independent auditor Grant
Thornton disputes the suit’s merits even though the firm itself offers
services comparable to the portal’s. ( www.electronicaccountant.com/news/101101_1.htm
