The General Assembly finds that:
 
 
(1) Voluntary compliance is the cornerstone of an 
 
effective tax system. 
 
 
(2) Despite attempts by the General Assembly, State 
 
taxes are not simple. 
 
 
(3) Even the most diligent taxpayers, through mistake 
 
or inadvertence, may not pay all taxes due. 
 
 
(4) The Department lacks the resources to audit the 
 
compliance of all taxpayers. 
 
 
(5) Illinois certified public accountants provide 
 
valuable advice and assistance to Illinois taxpayers on State tax issues. 
 
 
(6) A pilot program establishing a partnership 
 
between taxpayers, Illinois certified public accountants, and the Department will provide guidance to taxpayers and enhance voluntary compliance. 
 
 
(7) A pilot project to establish a certified audit 
 
program to address underpayment of local occupation and use taxes would address concerns raised by units of local government.
