Principals of www.RewardTax.com Complete Presentation to AICPA

The principals of www.RewardTax.com, Tom Pliske & Rob Stientjes, completed their presentation regarding the Tax Whistleblower Reward Program to the attendees of the 2008 AICPA Symposium in Washington, DC on October 29, 2008.  The AICPA Symposium is attended by over 400 leaders of the largest and best CPA firms in the country.  After the presentation, several members of the audience raised questions about the application of the Whistleblower Program to CPAs.  Tom Pliske answered, “The Whistleblower Program allows for a reward to be earned for turning in unscrupulous tax return preparers.  Overall, the Whistleblower Program will have a positive effect on the CPA industry because it gives incentives to those with knowledge of inappropriate behaviour to come forward.  Unscrupulous tax return preparers, left unchecked, take business away from honest return preparers.”
