Even if they were unaware of the fraud, accountants may be held accountable for it.
<h3>How does constructive fraud work?</h3>
A legal fable known as "constructive fraud" describes a circumstance in which a person or organization obtained an unfair advantage over another using dishonest or unjust means. As opposed to true fraud, no proof of intent is required. The failure to inform clients of product flaws is one example of unfair practices.
The elements are:
1) a duty owed by the party to be charged to the complaining party due to their relationship;
2) violation of that duty by making deceptive material misrepresentations of past or current facts or remaining silent when a duty to speak exists; and
3) reliance on such statements by the complaining party.
