It is probably also a good idea to hire more auditors and train them better in forensic accounting. Then give them the budgets to go after the big problems.

Probably also appropriate to make it so that corporations cannot then employ these people away from the government.

Probably also good to make the penalties for tax avoidance/evasion similar to those for armed robbery. Whilst not often as directly violent, the impact is often far greater.
