The Tribune Corporation located and doing business in Boston, MA hired Stacy Staples, CPA, licensed in the state of Maine, to conduct an audit of its books, to prepare a financial statement and a report for the corporation's annual meeting on July 1. Staples made every reasonable attempt to comply with the dead line, but could not finish the report on time due to the delays caused by Tribune's personnel not timely providing the needed information.

Staples seeks your advice regarding her rights, and what course of action she should pursue.
