question 31

Multiple Choice

[Carter's financials] Kayla works as an accountant. Rudy, an attorney, is working on a case for Carter, who is suing his business partner. Rudy does not have the time or the background to perform a complete analysis of Carter's financial statements, so Rudy asks Kayla to meet with Carter and assist Rudy with interpreting Carter's financial statements. Kayla meets with Carter, who provides a lengthy explanation of the financial statements and facts of the case. Afterwards, she prepares a memorandum for Rudy outlining her analysis of the financial issues of the case. Kayla runs into Carter at a baseball game several months later. Carter tells her that the stress is getting to him and he wants to move to Florida because he can no longer tolerate his business partner. A year later, at trial, Kayla is called as a witness by Carter's business partner to testify against Carter. No accountant-client privilege exists in Kayla's state, which is also where the trial takes place.
-If Kayla is called to testify at trial, would she likely be required to reveal information about Carter's financial statements?
