I agree you should move on. You would need to throw a few $10,000 bills out there for them to trip over.
BUT, do file that ethics report.

Okay RWebb I do find that it is tempting to file the ethics report. But the office guy with the accounting designation will likely get a slap on the wrist only because all he can be accused of is guilt by association. His signature does not appear anywhere but being a partnership he should have ensured that the final inspection with the City was completed. His defence is that the statute of limitations is exceeded, that is the time that I could have done something has passed. My reaction was that there was no time limit on a bad reputation.
It is not a crime to be involved in a company that has gone broke. However it makes me wonder what did he put down as work experience prior to his present job? I find out that he works for a large multinational corp. but if it was an investment co. or a bank I would be concerned for the safety of their $$$. However that is not the case. So as suggested here, I am seriously thinking of letting the accounting designation assn. know my experience and give them a report. I learn from most of you that I am negligent in not getting the final inspection done before final $$$$ settlement and that I should go ahead and spring for the few hundred $$$ to install proper steps and railings.Good advice. I am unable to find the carpenter who built the deck but it was the accountant who came with his carpenter partner to do the sales job to give it more legitimacy. Is that sufficient punishment for the accountant for me tell the account. org. of what he has done?Am I going over the top?
