In 2020, due to the pandemic, TOP GUN Amusement Enterprises encountered a slowdown in its transactions. As a result, Patrick declared that the company did not get any income. Patrick showed the tax declaration of the company as evidence of the performace of the company.

Nicolo was surprised with the declaration of Patrick and was not satisfied with his explanation. He demanded a total accounting of the operations of the company.

Patrick informed Nicolo and the partners that a total accounting of the company will cost PhP 100,000.00. If he accedes to the demand of Nicolo, the company will register a loss which he does not want. He justified that an additional expense like this has no place in a company which is struggling to stay afloat. He therefore denied the demand.

Tim, Orly and Gene is inclined to support Patrick. They asked Patrick that if Nicolo pursues to question his refusal to provide a total accounting of the operational cost of the company, they need to know what to do and to provide legal support on the denial. Patrick sought your advice, what will be your recommendation.
