So! You've been through the audit and you and the examiner don't agree on some issues. The first thing you should do is to ask to speak to the examiner's supervisor if available. if not, an audit report (Available to members only) will be prepared by the examiner and will ask you or your client to sign off on it. If you or your client feel that the report is wrong, then wait for the thirty-day letter.
The thirty day letter will give you thirty days to appeal the examiner's decision with an Appeal's Officer. Most Appeals Officers are either former Revenue Agents, Revenue Officers, or Office Examiners.
Simply follow the directions of the appeals letter. Make sure to state the facts as to why you disagree.
An appointment will then be scheduled for you to meet at an Appeal's Office.
As you recall, when we prepared for the initial audit, we prepared for it using the "IFRAC" method. To be continued in members only section!
