Learning Objective

  • Determine the common weaknesses in a criminal tax investigation.  
  • Identify the key documents to review (in a sea of thousands).
  • Know how to select questions for your client to use in court proceedings.

Course Overview

CPAs are often called upon to provide litigation support for defense attorneys in criminal proceedings. While the IRS may recommend prosecution in criminal tax cases, the dynamics and consequences differ significantly from those of a standard civil audit. 

This course stresses CPAs' crucial role in aiding defense attorneys by navigating the complexities of calculating tax loss, formulating pertinent inquiries, and scrutinizing potential vulnerabilities in criminal tax investigations. In this CE course, we will delve into the strategic insights and tactical maneuvers critical to navigating the complexities of tax defense. Participants will explore the common weaknesses inherent in criminal tax investigations, learning to discern key documents amidst a sea of information and craft probing inquiries for courtroom success. 

Major topics covered:

  • Investigation Weaknesses
  • Document Review Essentials
  • Burden of Proof Disparities
  • Statutory Exceptions Analysis
  • Real-World Case Applications

Join this CE Course, participants will gain invaluable expertise in defending clients against a spectrum of tax-related charges.
