I have a friend who is now an IRS special agent and it tickles me to know he carries a gun and goes on raids

Forensic accountants support agents at the FBI working on white collar crime or other crimes where the case has a financial element.

IRS Special Agents work on cases involving suspected tax fraud/evasion.
