Tanner Bills SCO for Another $54,000 for June |
|
Tanner has filed yet another bill, its 9th, asking this time for $53,612.50 for June. And $439.68 in expenses. We haven't seen a bill as large as that from Tanner since February. You'd think for all that money, they'd be able to teach SCO how to file MORs that are comprehensible. The three categories of services this time were for "Audit", "Tax", and "401(k)Audit". It's an interim bill, meaning it is asking for 80% of most of the bill to be paid now, or around $40,000, and the rest later. Tanner was approved to expand its role in February to include doing SCO's state and federal taxes, and in June its role expanded to include doing the audit of the 401(k), so that explains the large bill. It was approved to bill for the audit $17,000, and that means it gets 100% of that bill now, not just 80% it gets for hourly work. But it is also asking for $17,515.50 for 124 hours of work on the taxes, and yet the bill states that they have only begun to perform the tax procedures, as it calls them. So what was the time spent on? |
