A foreign tax professional may be of assistance in demonstrating that a foreign company filed the appropriate types of tax returns and paid the appropriate taxes . When commingling of funds has occurred , a forensic accounting expert may be helpful in presenting an accepted tracing methodology that demonstrates the path of funds which were commingled .
