Transcripts and correspondence documenting four complaints brought before the board seeking action against either an accounting firm or an individual accountant. The four complaints resulted in a ruling by the Attorney General in 1933 that the board had no authority to reprimand accounting firms (Silberstein and Bondy Company against Sandahl, Pearson and Company, 1931-1933), in the board's support of a previous legal judgment (F.
