Abstract
- The federal government should recognize the audit privilege already incorporated into the environmental audit legislation of many states. Auditing promotes self-policing by businesses and reduces the costs associated with litigation risks. Currently, large businesses can use other privileges, such as the attorney-client privilege, to protect themselves when investigated by the US Environmental Protection Agency, but small businesses do not have the resources to effect such protections. A federal audit privilege would level the playing field for all businesses.
