Yes accountants do have more knowledge and expertise in this regard they can do these types of things easily but it is all about ethics !! Some regards it as illegal while some find it rather productive Besides as Javed Zuberi says "You will never be able to find the fraud until you dont know how to do one !!!
As far as interest is concern well we had a verrrrryy Veeeerrry long debate over this topic !!! so plz dont start it all over again !!
As far as saving a company is concern yes you can show less profits and more expenses simple to pay less tax. It looks simple but it is not easy to hide it but thats what for chartered accountants are !! ( Consider it done BOss)
After this long debate dont think that all accountants are cheaters !!! It is a very reputable profession and one must do his job with ethics and integrity !!!

The difference between dreams and accomplishment is purly desire

Some use illegal means like you mentioned, while others tend to remain in the boundaries of the legal system by exploiting 'technical loopholes' in accounting standards.

Perhaps he didn't literally mean the word 'law', but rather 'accounting standards' (alternative treatment and flexibility in subjectiveness of sensitive issues).

Well, there is tax planning and then there is tax evasion ! with a thin line in between, a thin red line
