A
study written
by
our
very
own
Prof. Ken Klassen alongside
Petro
Lisowsky
of
the
University
of
Illinois
at
Urbana-Champaign and
Devan
Mescall
of
the
University
of
Saskatchewan,
appears
in
the
January/February
issue
of
the
American
Accounting
Association
journal The
Accounting
Review.
The study found that tax returns prepared by companies' external auditors claim roughly 30 percent less in questionable tax benefits than do those prepared by other outside accountants or by the firms' own tax officers.
