After disposition, which task should the practitioner perform?

• A. Refuse to communicate with client.
• B. Reopen the file.
• C. Cancel the file.
• D. Provide final reports and accounting to clients.

Answer: (D)

After disposition, the practitioner should complete the engagement by delivering final reports and accounting to the client. This step formally closes the file and provides the client with a clear summary of outcomes, time spent, disbursements, and any outstanding balances or refunds. It ensures transparency and fulfills professional duties to communicate and account for fees, giving the client a complete and final record of the matter. Other options don’t provide this closure and financial accountability: refusing to communicate with the client breaches the duty to communicate, reopening or canceling the file isn’t the needed closing step after disposition.
