Question

Adams is the executive partner of Adams & Co., CPAs. One of its smaller clients is a large nonprofit charitable organization. The organization has asked Adams to be on its board of directors, which consists of a large number of the community’s leaders. Membership on the board is honorary. Adams & Co. would be considered to be independent

Answer 1

As long as Adams does not perform or give advice on management functions

Step-by-step explanation:

With regard to the above and in addition to Adams not performing or giving advice on management functions, he will be independent so long his membership on the board is purely honorary, s(he) is identified as an honorary director in all the company's letter head and externally circulated materials; where s(he) is named as a director or trustee and does not vote or participate in any management functions. He may however give advice to the organization as a member of the board when such is required.
