The Inflation Reduction Act increased the IRS budget. As a result, the IRS continues to replenish its audit workforce.

Now, more than ever, Accounting, Tax, and Financial Professionals need clients to understand the need for documentation and procedures to substantiate what IRS examiners are pursuing. Learn the high audit risk areas and ways to help clients survive an IRS audit with little or no change.
