If they brought a tax auditor in and showed them everything they did, if the auditor was honest, however say things perfectly precious. That should also be your test. Ask yourself, you actually brought an auditor in and showed them everything you did you reduce your tax load, would the auditor need to agree everything you did was legal and above blackboard?
