Presentation Title:

IRS and Taxes in the Cannabis Industry: Risk Factors, Red Flags, and Investigation from an Examiner’s Perspective

Peggy Koller, Owner, GreenLeaf Accounting, LLC

Abstract:

Cannabis is a federally illegal, cash-intensive, lucrative industry that is at high-risk for tax fraud… and the IRS is watching closely.  CEOs need to be aware of the risk factors and red flags that the IRS looks for and how examiners use that information to tailor their investigations. Cannabusiness owners also need to understand the examination procedures and investigative tools the IRS examiners employ – such as Cash-T Account Analysis, and Vertical and Horizontal Analysis of key business ratios – and how they can be used as evidence to build a case.  Having a deeper understanding of tax fraud investigation from the examiner’s perspective, CEOs can better defend themselves against fraud risk and the potential loss of their business assets and personal freedom.

Peggy has lived in Central Florida most of her life and started her undergraduate studies at the University of Central Florida.  She later graduated with honors from the University of Phoenix with her Bachelor of Science in Accounting degree.  Peggy is currently finishing her Master of Science in Forensic Accounting and Fraud Examination from the John Chambers College of Business and Economics at West Virginia University, a program developed as the national curriculum for forensic and fraud accounting programs on behalf of the National Institute of Justice (Department of Justice).
