Uncooperative bundled provider

[Guest mo again]

My client ("A") acquired another company ("B") in 1998. B's plan was merged into A's plan in 1999. Both plans were large enough to require an accountants opinion. B's former bundled provider won't provide needed information to B's accountant. The latter has now provided written notice that, as a result, they are unable to complete the audit for 1998 and the short 1999 year. A's accountant won't complete A's 1999 audit without B's audit.

In short, the refusal of the bundled provider to furnish the requested information is causing everyone a lot of problems. Any recommendations about how we might "persuade" them to furnish it? I have gone up the chain of command and get lots of promises but no actual information. Meanwhile the 10/15 deadline is drawing alarmingly close to get two audits completed.

I would recommend offering them that hat you've been talking about. That should seal the deal.

PWBA would be very interested in an uncooperative service provider. A call to the local PWBA stating your problem should trigger a call to the recalcitrant party.
