In this episode you will learn:
- Practitioners with principal authority are responsible for their firm's overall compliance with Circular 230.
- A violation occurs if a firm leader fails to implement 'adequate procedures' for all staff to follow Circular 230.
- Supervisors must identify and take prompt corrective action to address any 'pattern or practice' of noncompliance within the firm.
- A supervising practitioner can be disciplined if their failure to act is deemed willful, reckless, or grossly incompetent.
- The exam may present scenarios where a leader claims ignorance, but they are still responsible if they 'should have known' about the misconduct.
