My friend has an accountant who claims they can get a lot of money back, even amend old years. If my friend gets audited, they claim "they will handle it no problem". What's going on here?

United States: My friend says he went to this accountant and they amended past years and went from owing the IRS to them owing HIM. He lives a normal life style, doesn't have a mortgage, doesn't go to school, basically it should be a 1040ez. The accountant has to be lying about what they are reporting right? Would he ever get in trouble if he were caught or is the liability all with the accountant?
