The Scope of the GRIFFIN Tax Preparation Services

The GRIFFIN Tax preparation services (including any communications you may have with GRIFFIN Tax personnel in connection with those services) are not a substitute for and do not include legal, tax, financial, real estate, healthcare or accounting advice, and GRIFFIN Tax is not a public accounting firm. The GRIFFIN Tax preparation services do not include, and you will not purport to rely on them for: (i) audit, examination, verification, investigation, certification, presentation, or review, of financial transactions or accounting records; (ii) advice relating to accounting procedure and to the recording, presentation, or certification of financial information or data; (iii) preparation or certification of reports on audits or examinations of books or records of account, balance sheets, and other financial, accounting and related schedules, exhibits, statements, or reports that are to be used for publication, for the purpose of obtaining credit, for filing with a court of law or with any governmental agency, or for any other purpose; (iv) legal advice regarding any of your business practices, including with respect to their appropriateness or legality; or (v) or tax advice (unless engaged separately to provide this service). You should seek the services of a duly licensed professional in connection with any of the foregoing. In particular, only a certified public accountant can attest (e.g. as part of an audit) as to whether the results of the GRIFFIN Tax preparation services are compliant with GAAP, IFRS or any other accounting standards or rules, and GRIFFIN Tax makes no representation or warranty with respect thereto.
