Thanks to CDROM technology, the copious amount of IRS data is readily available to you as dynamic information.

Each Audit Guide provides an overview of the industry under review to familiarize the agent with industry lingo, practices and outlines just what questions should be asked, what documents should be reviewed etc. Actually the IRS agent's Audit is essentially the same as the Due Diligence one should conduct before acquiring any business.
