In this seminar, an experienced panel of criminal tax practitioners will discuss a range of topics at the cutting edge of criminal tax law. The panel will present new issues and new analysis of previously settled issues. For example, panel members will discuss new developments in the law of economic substance, and tax and audit issues arising from recent deferred prosecution agreements of off-shore companies. Although subject matter will be criminal tax prosecutions and investigations, much of the discussion and analysis will be of interest to criminal law practitioners generally. For example, the panel will be discussing recent litigation on the required records exception to the Fifth Amendment privilege, as well as recent efforts to criminalize violations of accounting principles. Throughout its presentation the panel will highlight lessons and insights all practitioners can benefit from.
