Legal Question in Business Law in Tennessee
s corporation
as a minor owner of an s corporation, what reports are to be sent to me on a regular basis by the accounting firm handeling the corporation's account? Is the accounting firm required to notify the majority shareholder when an inquirey is made by the minority holder? if the accounting firm notifies or asks permission to give this against the law or at least un-ethical?

Re: s corporation
As a stockholder, you will normally not receive
accounting information from the accounting firm
or any other correspondence of a business nature
from other parties. The officers run the corporation
on a day to day basis and it is they who receive
the correspondence. Remember that a corporation is
like a pyramid. Stockholders, then directors, then
officers, then employees, if any. At the annual
meeting, the stockholders elect the directors for
the next year and the directors decide on the officers
for the next year.
