RSM McGladrey, a subsidiary of H&R Block, and McGladrey & Pullen, have agreed to a split the net income from the RSM operations with the Block unit getting two third and M&P one third of the bottom line. The parties, which renewed their relationship in December, have also agreed to change compensation arrangements, which were not spelled out.
The agreement followed M&P's announcement last spring that it would end the alternative practice relationship the accounting firm had with RSM McGladrey, which held from the first it wanted to maintain the arrangement. After the dispute went to arbitration, the parties announced a Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement that governs the relationship.
The parties will establish a Compensation Subcommittee which would change what a Block press release called "certain compensation agreements" relating to the administrative agreement under which RSM McGladrey provides services to M&P.
