Practice Before the IRS
Course number: ETH920501
This course is designed to meet the 2 hour CPE requirement for Enrolled Agents and Other Tax Return Preparers (OTRPs). Despite predictably frequent calls for simplifying the U.S. Tax Code and the 2017 passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), it becomes increasingly complex over time. At its more than 3% annual growth in size since 1945, it was projected to exceed 96,000 pages by the year 2020. Because of the enormity of the Code and its complexity, taxpayers often seek the assistance of knowledgeable professionals to represent them with respect to tax and other matters before the IRS. However, the ability to represent a client before the IRS is, with certain exceptions, extremely limited. This course will look at the important subject of client representation before the IRS. Practice Before the IRS addresses the nature of practice before the IRS, identifies those permitted to engage in such practice and examines the power of attorney under which a taxpayer authorizes another to engage in it on his or her behalf. Course level: Basic. Prerequisites: None. Course includes integrated text and study guide, final exam, and grading service.

Preventing Fraud and Mismanagement in Government
Course number: AA344801
This course identifies common themes in public fraud and corruption, describes the forces that drive them, and provides an objective standard of good practices with no political bent. The text walks through the massive scandals that resulted from public mismanagement and fraud to illustrate how deeply-entrenched, entity-specific norms can differ from actual best practices. The discussion includes the theoretical underpinnings of public fraud, and how intense corporate culture and limited exposure to outside practice standards can lead to routine deviation from normal behavior and moral standards. Public agencies and governmental entities are generally driven by a public benefit or goal, but are widely varied in the ability and desire to deliver value while retaining best practices. This course teaches you how to: understand why fraud exists in the public sector; discover how an agency’s mindset diverges from the norm; review cases where agency practices diverged from best financial practices; learn good practices in an objective, nonpolitical context; and more.
