Fraud - What IRS Looks for and How You Should Avoid It?
Michael Cash was an IRS Revenue Officer for 35 years with his final two
years before retirement spent as one of 17 Revenue Officer Fraud
Technical Advisors nationwide. In the latter job he was responsible for
instructing all Revenue Officers in the northern 2/3 of California about
what indicators of fraud they should look for and consulting with
Revenue Officers who thought they had a fraud case about what
information needed to be gathered prior to referring a case to the IRS
Criminal Division. After retirement he became an Enrolled Agent
representing clients with tax collection problems. He is the secretary
of the Big Valley Chapter of the California Society of Enrolled Agents.
A former IRS Revenue Officer and Fraud Technical Advisor describes what indicators IRS employees look for as evidence of various tax crimes and how practitioners should be aware of those same indicators so they can get the problem fixed before IRS finds it, prevent the client from committing fraud in the first place or recognize when it is in their best interest to disengage if the client won’t cooperate.
Areas Covered
- Tax crimes
- Indicators of fraud
- Consequences
Who Should Attend
Anyone who needs to be aware of possible tax fraud by a client.
Why Should You Attend
Your clients may not tell you everything. They may even lie to you. Or at least shade an issue is a way that is not going to pass muster in an audit. As a practitioner you need to be able to understand what IRS front line civil employees will look for as “badges of fraud” and make sure your client’s tax returns or other documents contain none of them.
