Solution

Answer to given question;

Both attorney-client privilege and work-product protection only exist by virtue of an engagement with an attorney. However, depending on the circumstances under which the forensic accountant is hired and how his or her services are performed, directed and controlled, attorney-client privilege and accountant work-product protection can be extended to the forensic accountant. These circumstances include the following:

From a legal standpoint, his or her communications with the client are made for the purpose of facilitating the rendering of legal services, not accounting services.

For attorney-client privilege and work-product protection to be extended to the forensic accountant and his or her work, these criteria need to be in place at the beginning of case.
