When I was searching for a funny video concerning auditing, I found this one on Youtube. It tells you in 7 steps, how you can "bluff" your way through an IRS audit.
These steps are only necessary when you did something wrong, for instance saying you've earned more than you really did. The seven steps are very much alike, they only want the auditor to be distracted.
At first you can gather as much paperwork as possible. This doesn't even require a link with the audit. Just make sure the auditor gets a bit depressed by seeing how much work he has to do. If possible, you could even make the paper works dirty, so he/she wouldn't like to touch it.
Or dress to impress. Auditors are mostly boring people, who spend their days working and working. So why don't we grab our brightest clothes?
No comprendo! You can make yourself unintelligible by speaking in another language, or speaking so fast, he/she doesn't understand. Maybe ask him some questions too.
When the previous steps didn’t have any result, you should try to explain your misbehavior. Tell him/her for example, you’re protesting the tax laws. This argument can put a smile on his/her face. I mean, these laws are so difficult to understand!
If he/she still looks angry, try to make deal with him/her.
It can take 28 months to know the result of an IRS audit. During this period, you have the possibility to start working out. Because it will be useful when you go to prison.
After seeing this video, I laughed. I guess it has a slight chance of working. In addition to the chance, I think they've already conquered a lot of misbehaviors. They know the tricks to avoid punishes. And to have to wait 28 months for the result, is very long. I guess your guiltiness is getting bigger and bigger. I would never try this. It's too dangerous.
But still, it's funny to watch.
Don't try this at home!

Very funny, Julie! I think a lot of companies fear audits because they don't want negative publicity or any damage for their company. But I also think it isn't a good idea to try these things in real life!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenJulie, shouldn't you try these tricks?! No you're right. It should damage your apparition.
