SpeedTax, Inc. has launched an online CPA Questionnaire that allows accounting professionals to determine their clients’ sales tax audit risk.

The (free) questionnaire was designed to educate clients  while collecting information about zones of risk that accountants can use to determine corrective action. After the client answers a handful of questions under seven categories of compliance risk – audit defense, nexus, taxability, returns and filing, exemptions, and current practices – a snapshot assessment is made, and a full report, including any of the client’s free-form comments, is forwarded back to their CPA.

It's an interesting idea from an interesting company working an area that, while not usually known as "interesting", is rapidly becoming so. You might be well served to suggest this link to some of your clients. I'm guessing their answers may well surprise you!
