Surreal day on the job...more of the same on the way.

You actually think that it's OK that Nomad would copy a client's financial records and hand them over to the authorities? And simply on the basis of Nomad imagining that the client must be up to something?  Even Nomad knows that's a dirtbag thing to do. That's why they said to mail it anonymously. I am fairly certain that if caught, Nomad would go to jail. Copies of a client's financial information is the property of the client. It would be straight up theft of the client's financial information.

I wouldn't trust Nomad with anything.

I wouldn't necessarily think it's okay to just send someone's financial records to the authorities for no reason but I would find it my responsibility if I, in the process of keeping their books, came upon something that was clearly illegal like finding out they were hiding money or something like that. At that point, it would be covering my own ass.

There's something illegal going on there. Unless accounting rules are different across the pond, the duty is on an accountant to report illegal activities.
