Introduction

An established CC can appear uncomplicated simply because it has operated for many years. But familiarity can hide problems involving ownership, authority, member conduct, financial records, statutory compliance and personal liability.

A practitioner who knows what to look for can identify concerns earlier, have better conversations with clients, recommend appropriate corrective action and reduce unnecessary professional exposure.
