We are pleased to have forensic accounting expert, Gary L. Howard, CPA, as our speaker this month, presenting: “Accounting and Taxation for Attorneys:  The Issues That Will Hound You When the IRS Has Found You”.

This program will include discussion of deduction rules – what you may deduct from income, and what you may not;  legal requirements for filing of Information Returns; Foreign Reporting Requirements – what reports must you file for bank accounts, financial accounts and other assets held outside the United States (and the downside if you fail to file); and IRS Examinations – an overview of the examination process; and audit issues for attorneys.
