In preparing the personal tax returns for a client, Phyllis Allen, CPA, observed that the deductions for contributions and interest were unusually large. When she asked the client for backup information to support the deductions, she was told, Ask me no questions, and I will tell you no lies. Allen completed the return on the basis of the information acquired from the client.

Would this be a violation of the AICPA's Code of Professional Conduct? If so, what section would this appear under?
