Solution

The incorrect statement is:

d. There is no contractual obligation on the part of the practice to pay the disbursement.

This statement is incorrect because in most cases, there is a contractual obligation on the part of the practice to pay the disbursement. Disbursements are costs related to the service provided by the firm that are paid to third parties. These costs are usually covered by the client, but the firm is typically responsible for making the actual payment. Therefore, there is usually a contractual obligation for the firm to pay these costs.
