License to Practice Law, Specialization in Federal Tax Law, provides superior practice rights to AICPA Member Practitioner: Firms appear to prefer licensing in two practice professions presenting both ethical conflicts in client representation and privilege protection of confidential communication. Incisive cross-examination can impair testimony of the holder of two professional licenses in law and as AICPA-member or CICA-member practitioner in preparation of client compliance returns for submission to a U.S. or Canadian government agency. A criminal prosecutor or government counsel may be able to reach incriminating, derogatory, embarrassing conversations, background query consult concurrent to preparation with company senior officer, or document evidence submission or offer of submission presenting factual matter to establish the return was prepared primarily within the experience and profession of a CPA. How items entered on the returns were arrived at and from which client source documents cannot be revealed as a client confidence by an attorney, but may be judicially ordered as a CPA without respect to Fifth Amendment privileges which are testimonial. A CPA may refuse discussion of preparation or entry of transactions or sources with assertion of the Fifth inuring solely to the CPA and not to a subpoena of the compliance or source documents. Client source documents used by attorney to prepare a return and in the custody of the attorney shall not be produced by subpoena unless a probable cause showing of the commission of a crime in which counsel is an accomplice. The tax expertise of an attorney specializing in federal and international taxation with an undergraduate degree in public accountancy presents superior versatility in representation venues, research, preparation of different forms of documentation, horizontal and vertical architecture of tax transactions and infrastructure, criminal tax statutory violations and procedure, civil government investigations.
