Tracy Coenen's Fraud Files

Many thanks to Tracy Coenen of Sequence, Inc. Forensic Accounting for linking to The Liberty Sphere in support of her hypothesis that perhaps revamping the U.S. Tax Code would reduce the amount of fraud in the country. My article entitled, 'Overhauling the U.S. Tax Code' was of particular interest to Ms. Coenen in her work as a forensic accountant for Sequence, Inc., which investigates various types of accounting fraud among companies, corporations, the government, etc.

I had not thought about it, but the present problem of tax fraud, which experts say is rampant today in our nation, would be entirely eliminated with the implementation of the national sales tax, or the flat tax. The present system of contradictions, confusing language, loopholes, and endless provisions only invites fraud. In addition, much of what passes for fraud is nothing more than sheer confusion on the part of taxpayers, tax-preparers, and accountants alike as they muddle their way through the maze of the torturous and vaguely worded tax code.

Ms. Cohen is also a speaker for her company, and she is available for seminars, didactics, retreats, corporate meetings, etc, to help business persons and government workers understand how to minimize the risk of fraud in their various spheres.

Many thanks to Ms. Coenen for her link to my article. Her company info and her personal bio can be found at:

The link to The Liberty Sphere is found in the section called 'The Seventh Carnival of Fraud.'

Remember, the more people we can get on the bandwagon of overhauling the tax code, the closer we are to a fairer, more honest, and less burdensome system of taxation in this country.
