I need some helps here. 2 weeks ago, I got an offer from an accounting firm. Lately, I had some difficulties to get alone with the boss, so I decide to quit by handing my resignation letter to the HR. But the boss wants me to sign some kind of termination package and she thread on me that if I don’t sign her package, she will report me to the board of accountancy.

Below is her e-mail.

“I , xxx CPA, personally request you to come in our firm to sign off the termination package since our firm had client confidential information and Board of Accountancy did require CPA candidate of signing confidential information requirement sheet. If you did not sign off, we had the right to report to Board of Accountancy and put your name on the pending of not qualifying as CA CPA. For your own benefit, I recommend you to sign on the termination package related to confidential information. I heard from Youa Her that she did request you of coming

in signing on the sheet, you refused and hanged up the phone. That will seriously impact you on the qualification of CPA in the future.

I sincerely request you of stopping by our office within three days to sign off the form. Otherwise, we will report to Board of Accountancy and that will seriously

impact on your CPA qualification.”

Does anyone know about this? If that’s valid, candidates, we will be in trouble. Whenever your boss doesn’t like you, he or she can ruin your career life.

I just called the board of accountancy. They said the employer has no right to report a non-licensing candidate for whatever reasons. They might refuse to sign for your working experiences unless you sign on their paper. However, I have the right to file a complain against her.

In conclusion, she's just bluffing, but if i don't sign her paper, I am sure she will keep bothering me everyday.

And if you still have that written email, I'd print, forward, and save it. Sounds like the Board of Accountancy would be interested in something in writing like that. I'm sorry, but that place sounds really screwed up if they would even put something like that in writing so that it could printed, forwarded and saved.

Couldn't pass again!

Ok first off- I think the letter from the OP is reworded into his/her own words. I have a hard time believing that upper management would be that illiterate and the rest of the posts are equally poorly written. Whenever someone re-writes anything into their own word things can be skewed easily to more closely reflect the impression one is trying to make.

Secondly, my point was not that the OP shouldn't defend her license, the point was that is not helpful to anyone to seek conflict at every turn. As I said, it seems like they have made a mistake and are now trying to cover their a$$es. I don't know why it would be such a big deal for the OP to sign the bloody letter anyway without being a pain about it. When state boards get involved no one wins, regardless of which side is more affected.

Sandra, It's the original. She is not native and 80% of her client are Chinese speakers.

I went the office today and she refused to make me the copies. I read through the papers, made sure everything seems ok, signed and left.

It's the agreement I should sign before I start to work. Since it's not such a big deal, I just sign, get rid of her, then move on.

Thanks to all your help and suggestions.
