Dominique, a certified public accountant, provides accounting services to Eagle Corporation. The services include preparing Eagle's financial reports and issuing opinion letters based on the reports. In 2008, Eagle falls into serious financial trouble, but neither Dominique's reports nor her opinion letters indicate this situation. Relying on Dominique's portrayal of Eagle's financial situation, Eagle borrows a large sum of money to build a new shipping facility. In lending Eagle the money, First National Bank relies on Dominique's opinion letter. Dominique is aware of this reliance. If Dominique did not engage in intentional fraud but was negligent, what is her potential liability?
