Ed owned multiple businesses but employed his brother Joe to manage them as a salaried employee. Ed spent most of his time on his yacht or flying in his plane with various friends. Joe on the other hand had the responsibility of making sure that all of the businesses ran profitably. Ed was very clear in telling his brother that he wanted to make sure they were not taxed unduly for all these businesses. He put tremendous pressure on Joe to circumvent taxes and would spend hours at the end of each fiscal year questioning his brother on the tax situation. The I.R.S. discovered a Swiss bank account under another name that was traced back to Joe. Ed is in turn suing his manager/brother Joe and has hired a forensic accountant to gather evidence against Joe. What type of evidence will the forensic accountant be looking for?

• ego
• motivation
• conversion
• collusion
