Allied Law Group is proud to report that a client of the firm, Ed Clark, CPA, received a $500,000 settlement in a series of cases alleging retaliation by the Board of Accountancy. Public records played a key role in the outcome.

UPDATE 1: Looks like the Governor's Office is looking at a "consultant" to look at the Board of Accountancy. See the reaction to that.

UPDATE 2: The Board of Accountancy will investigate itself in the wake of paying out $500,000 to settle retaliation claims. The State Auditor says he will speak with the Governor and Attorney General about it.
