Thank you for your comment.

If you cannot solve the issue with your bookkeeper quickly I would suggest you seek some legal advice on what your options are.

Kind regards,

David.

I gave everything to the bookkeeper (till receipts, bank statements etc) and she did my accounts and told me what figures to enter into ROS. I am in the having my final meeting next week with the Revenue re: an audit on my business.

At the start of the audit, my bookkeeper seemed confident (even cocky) about the audit. We met with the Revenue auditors in my office, they took my books away for review and contacted my bookkeeper and I several times prior to Christmas. However, my bookkeeper stopped answering the Revenue’s emails, gave me half-answers to my queries about the accounts, and has now stopped answering calls and emails completely.

I had to redo the accounts myself in excel, and gave found my bookkeeper’s entries to be very sloppy and nonsensical. I am now on my own in dealing with the Revenue.

Do I have any recourse against my bookkeeper? When I finally git her on the phone last week, she offered to return €1,000 of her fee to me, which I took as an admittance of her guilt and acknowledgement of her incompetence. Needless to say, I’ve not received any money from her.

What recourse do I have?
