Council Interpretation 205
False or Misleading Documents and Oral Representations
205/1
A member who is not in public practice is subject to Rule 205 just as is the member in public practice. It is recognized that this may place such a member in a difficult position vis-a-vis the organization employing the member or entities engaging the member's services. However, professional duty prohibits a member from being associated with financial statements or other information, whether written or oral, which the member knows, or should know, to be false or misleading.
205/2
When a member finds it necessary to become disassociated from false or misleading information, it would be prudent for the member to consider obtaining legal advice on the course of action to follow.
