IRS forensic accounting and IRS fraud examination are different but related.  IRS forensic accounting work is done in anticipation of  civil and criminal tax litigation and includes fraud evaluation.  Some IRS forensic accountants are Certified Fraud Examiners (CFE).

IRS forensic accounting is a method of unraveling complex tax transactions by examining IRS forms, documents, computer codes, the IRS computer system, IRS master files (IMF), administrative files, examination files and performing analytical reviews and identifying evidence to assist the taxpayer and/or attorney in resolving complex tax issues.

 

IRS forensic accountants have specialized training in interpreting IRS forms, documents, computer codes, the IRS computer system, IRS master files (IMF), administrative files, examination files, criminal tax files and can communicate the meaning of these records to a taxpayer and/or attorney.

For example if you or your attorney has received IRS discovery evidence in a civil or criminal tax issue it is certain that these records will contain undecipherable information that could be critial to solving your tax issues.

IRS forensic accountants combine their knowledge of accounting and finance with law and investigative techniques when examining IRS records.

IRS forensic accountants work closely with taxpayers and attorneys during  civil and criminal tax investigations and often appear as expert witnesses during trials.
