Daniel, a certified public accountant, was hired by vast hardware store to
perform an audit on the store's financial statements. in their agreement was a
clause stating that the audited financial statements would be used "to obtain
further inventory financing from second bank or another local bank." daniel
completed the audit and issued an unqualified opinion. eventually vast
hardware obtained the financing from sharp national bank - which is another
local bank. unfortunately, daniel had been negligent in conducting the audit,
and the inventory had been greatly overstated. as a result, there was
inadequate collateral for sharp's loan, and when vast hardware went bankrupt
a few months later, sharp bank suffered a loss. under which rule or rules for
accountant's liability to third parties could sharp national bank recover from
daniel? (discuss all rules that may apply)
