Case No. CV-105412 claims against the former Deloitte Tax LLC., Arnold McClellan and his wife Annabel McClellan for violating the AICPA's Code of Professional Conduct.
Arnold McClellan who is former partner at Deloitte Tax LLP has openly talked about the confidential merger and acquisition deals on which he was working for his Deloitte clients to his wife, Annabel McClellan.

Arnold’s misappropriated is violating the AICPA code by allowing Ms. Annabel to overhear his discussions on the confidential information at Deloitte.

According to the statement released by Elliot R. Peters and Christopher Kearney of the law firm Keker & Van Nest LLP, “He did not trade on insider information, and there will be no evidence that he passed along any confidential information to anyone.” In effect, Arnold is “emphasizing his innocence.” Thus, this leaves me somewhat confused. However, I believe that there's no exemption for disclosing the confidential information to outsider parties in any circumstances. Therefore, in the code of conduct for ethics violations, this kind of act should consider as an unethical
