Course Description

The accountant or tax preparer plays a crucial role in any tax investigation. The panel will discuss ethical and strategic issues concerning when and how the accountant should be represented and the extent to which the accountant may, must, or should cooperate with the taxpayer. The panel will also consider the role of the accountant in a sensitive tax examination.


The IRS Representation Conference brings together representatives from the government and expert private practitioners to compare perspectives on a variety of topics involving federal tax audits, appeals, and litigation. The Conference covers a wide range of representation issues, from procedural seminars to substantive programs, estate & gift issues, ethical problems, current enforcement initiatives, sensitive audits, and civil and criminal tax penalties.

This comprehensive, two full-day event focuses on the practical issues and how to handle them rather than theoretical issues.

Please note: Enrolling in an individual session will grant you access to the entire two-day event.
