SUMMARY:Tax Section: Practice and Procedure Roundtable Call: Current Issues in FBAR Litigation
DESCRIPTION:The FBA Tax Section is excited to host a discussion of the current state of FBAR litigation from the private practitioner and government viewpoint. Speakers Brian McManus and Joshua Wu will give a brief overview of the FBAR reporting requirements\, examinations\, and administrative appeals before turning to litigation. They will also discuss the development of FBAR case law\, issues currently in litigation\, and strategies for handling FBAR cases in litigation. This is one call you don’t want to miss! \n\nAbout the Speakers\nBrian McManus\, a partner in the Tax Department of Latham & Watkins\, focuses his practice on civil and criminal tax litigation and controversies. Mr. McManus litigates high stakes tax cases before federal and state courts. He also represents taxpayers in Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audits\, appeals\, and criminal investigations with the objective of confidentially resolving tax controversies and avoiding litigation. With nearly two decades of “inside the beltway” experience in Washington\, Mr. McManus frequently handles controversy matters with broader tax policy implications. Mr. McManus’ litigation and controversy practice extends to all areas of federal and state taxation\, with an emphasis on disputes involving cross-border and international tax matters\, sophisticated corporate transactions\, enterprise and asset valuations\, transfer pricing\, partnerships\, oil and gas taxation\, tax shelters\, and promoter penalty defense. \nMr. McManus frequently handles sensitive tax matters involving allegations of fraud and potential criminal tax charges. He has helped clients avoid severe civil penalties and criminal prosecution\, and he regularly advises on voluntary disclosure of domestic and offshore filing errors.  His clients include numerous multinational and Fortune 500 companies in diverse industries such as banking\, insurance\, technology\, energy\, pharmaceuticals\, airlines\, and retail. Mr. McManus has represented several global law and accounting firms\, as well as international charitable organizations\, trust companies\, offshore corporate service providers\, and high net worth families. Mr. McManus is admitted to practice before the US Court of Appeals for Federal Claims\, and the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts. \n  \nJoshua Wu is the Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Policy and Planning at the U.S. Department of Justice\, Tax Division.
