is the u.s. ready to move to a third-party payer system for audits?

the author of an article in the influential new york state society’s cpa journal magazine says the time has come to bring the discussion into the open.

in the article, michael doron, ph.d, cpa, an associate professor in the department of accounting and information systems at california state university in northridge, examines relationships between auditors and the public in countries which have more regulation, the results of an experiment with a third-party payer and how the united states government handles similar regulation in other industries.

how serious? as the tas report points out, “although taxpayers are required by law to pay their duly owed taxes, they are also the agency’s ‘customers.’ the agency’s failure to adequately engage these customers cannot cause taxpayers to take their business elsewhere, but it will jeopardize the voluntary compliance on which the u.s tax system depends.”

how the irs hides its legal decisions

irs chief counsel office charged with intentionally evading its responsibilities to the public

by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research

like the universe itself, the internal revenue code keeps expanding toward infinity. in that its more than 2,600 pages are unclear in spots, there are an additional several thousand pages of rules and regulations. and just to clarify all that, there are tens of thousands of pages of court decisions.
