C3’s Special Tax Engagement (STE) is available as a supplementary and comprehensive tool for growing companies with limited time and sales and use tax expertise.

In its preliminary stage, C3 will review all tax accumulation systems (A/R and A/P), examine customer or vendor records for required information, and isolate high-risk procedures and situations.

In the mitigation stage, C3 will screen for sales tax overcharges by A/P vendors or use tax over-accruals by staff and document the errors. A recovery program will then be initiated and the client will be kept informed of progress made. In A/R, C3 will instruct staff on the necessary correspondence and documentation required to reduce future assessments, interest and penalties.

"By using the C3 edge, a client is never
without the very best and most current advice
available in the marketplace".

During the education phase, C3 will make written recommendations to strengthen billing and processing systems and conduct in-house seminars as applicable to further teach and update client’s accounting personnel.

Fees for either engagement may be contingent on tax recoveries generated and penalty and interest mitigation savings or hourly billings, as may be appropriate to the audit program.

One thing is certain. By using the C3 edge, a client is never without the very best and most current advice available in the marketplace.
