Accountability When Financial Gatekeepers Get It Wrong
Accounting malpractice and audit failure cases require more than legal skill—they require a deep understanding of how audits are performed and how professional standards are applied in practice. At The Shore Firm, these cases are led by an attorney who brings both legal and accounting credentials to the table. Kenneth Shore holds a Master’s degree in Professional Accounting from the University of Texas at Austin and worked as an accountant and internal auditor before attending law school.
That experience gives The Shore Firm a distinct advantage in cases involving negligent audits, flawed financial reviews, and professional malpractice by accountants and audit firms. We understand audit planning, risk assessment, materiality judgments, sampling methods, internal controls, and the professional standards governing accountants. When those standards are ignored or misapplied, we know how to identify the failure and prove it.
Proven Insight Into How Audits Succeed—and How They Fail
Audit and accounting failures often stem from breakdowns that are invisible to non-accountants: inadequate testing, overreliance on management representations, failure to investigate red flags, or improper evaluation of internal controls. Kenneth Shore’s background as an auditor means he recognizes these issues immediately and understands how they should have been handled under applicable professional standards.
This allows The Shore Firm to:
- Evaluate whether an audit was properly planned and executed
- Identify departures from professional standards and best practices
- Trace how accounting errors or misconduct went undetected
- Expose shortcuts, bias, or conflicts that compromised audit independence
