Rogue Accountant

Does anyone know of a regulating board or committee that mediates complaints about accountants? I'm in NY.

You might try calling the attorney general for the state of NY, and they should redirect your call, or be able to give you advice. Most accountants do have to take some type of test to become certified, so you might also check in the phone book under the state offices. Just call around and I am sure you will find the help you need.

If a profession requires certification, each year the state issues that certificate (for a fee). Usually, the certificate is legally required to be displayed in clear view at the place of business. In MI, we can go the Michigan Dept. of Consumer and Industry Services and see the current standing of members of many professions online. For builders, you can see if there are and disputes, for medical professions you can see if there have been sanctions. Find the name of the licensing board in your state and you have found the place to complain. And maybe you can check and see if this accountant is certified and has any complaints or sanctions.

Does Rogue Valley Roses do this alot?

May 15, 2017 - I'm posting this as many places as I can to warn people. Apparently RVR is under new management and they just stole $32 of my money. Details follow. AVOID ROGUE VALLEY ROSES, NEW MANAGEMENT DISHONEST. I've had excellent experiences with Rogue Valley Roses in the past. However, they are under new management and they just stole $32 of my money. To be precise, I ordered two roses this spring, they were healthy and grew well, but when they bloomed, it became obvious that one of them had been mislabelled - they accidentally sent the wrong rose. No big deal, just send me the right rose or refund my money. I sent three emails, got no response whatsoever, so I went to phone calls. Got a man who never gave me his name and wasn't particularly polite, made it clear he didn't really want to be bothered. He told me the company was under new management, they'd been backlogged and were struggling to catch up and would get to my issues as soon as they could. I waited a week, nothing, so I called back. Same again. Last week, after three emails and three phone calls, I told the guy I wanted my money and I wanted it within three days, no more postponements. He said, "Okay, I'll use PayPal and send you an instantaneous transfer so you can have it right this minute." I said fine. But, it's been three days and the money isn't in my account. So I called back and he said, very self righteous, "I refunded your money last week." But he didn't. I don't have the money. I even logged into PayPal to see if anything was being held in PayPal rather than put in my bank account. Looks like Rogue Valley Roses has stolen $32 of my money.

RV mystery: Robin Hood, Verdi, or Robert's Wondrous Ruthie?
Q

Hi folks Thanks for your collective problem solving so far! Paul, I appreciate the definitive word about RWR, and I'm looking forward to starting a thread of "I love Barden Roses" as soon as my plants get big enough to show the impressive blooms and hardiness they clearly have the potential to do. Your roses have at least 90% healthy survival in my yard, which tops even my favorite Delbard, Kordes, and Buck roses. Keep up the good work! As for the RV mystery, we're still not sure, but as KSGreenman and I have the same rose and I have 4 more of them, I'm inclined to think it's something they are marketing. I don't think they'd produce that many bands to distribute of something they're testing. Catsrose, the color in my photo is pretty true to what it looks like in my yard, that "red" i.e. hot pink edge with a high contrast center, so it's closest to how you describe your Robin Hood (thanks for the contrasting info on all 3). On HMF, there are variations of all these candidate roses so the RV site photo may not look exactly like our plants, but I'm still leaning toward Robin Hood unless I am convinced otherwise. Other opinions are welcome! Cynthia

SZ 736 Update

Sorry to hear about the problem you are having with your SZ. I have to believe that lightning does not strike in the same place twice!!! I would start trying to isolate when the problem occurs and if anything else is happening at the same time. If they have replaced the parts and the same problem shows up two weeks later, either the part design is flawed or something is causing the part to fail. Do you have a surge protector attached to the fridge? I wonder if you are getting small electric surges but I doubt it would only affect one part so seriously. I did have an issue recently where I had an outlet installed and the receptacle had an issue. We replaced with the same type of receptacle and the problem went away. Good luck!

She might not have everything right, but who has. What irked me more is not that she might be sometimes wrong, but that the age old problem showed up when she started publishing, her harshest critics are women.

You did not say whether he is an accountant or if he is a CPA (Certified Public Accountant). There is a big difference. Basically anyone with a 2 year associate degree can be an accountant, a CPA is minimum of a bachelors degree and a Masters in most states and passing the exam and a 2 year internship. DH is a CPA in Texas and the Texas CPA board seriously examines any complaint that comes through the door. I would complain to the NJ CPA board if the guy is a CPA there.
You can check the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) web site and see if they can give you some advice. There web site is www.aicpa.org
It is unfortunate, but there are lame ducks in every field, so if the person is a CPA, you probably have some recourse, but if not, and there are no State guidelines on who can call themselves an accountant, you may have to talk to a lawyer.
