Since he did not find a temporary replacement in the company to perform key functions in the accounting department, Kyzyl-Tash LLC temporarily hired an audit manager from your audit team for 4 months, since he knew the Company well. The total cost of services to be paid by Kyzyl Tash amounted to 14%, including audit services and tax audit.

Having reviewed the correspondence, as well as from an informal conversation with the employees of Kyzyl Tash LLC, you concluded that your partner and the head of the agro-tourism complex have been good friends for many years and spend family vacations together. But at the same time, you know that last years audit account has not yet been fully paid, the remaining amount payable is 10%. Your partner does not make a claim in this regard to Kyzyl Tash.
