Article Abstract:

The complexity of the Canadian tax system makes it imperative for tax accountants to develop effective practice management techniques and to be alert to possible problem areas. Some useful measures include having an effective tickler system, customizing retainer letters, double-checking advice and developing consulting sources. Practitioners would also do well to protect the solicitor/client privilege, assess their own limitations, comply with prescribed forms and elections, and pay attention to matters of interest.
