You can - literally - have the same government force the negligent CPA pay via the judiciary. That’s what a lawsuit is.
Normally it doesn’t get to that point though. CPAs do not want to be known as the person that misfiled taxes and got a court to rule them negligent. They carry insurance for errors so mostly just end up queitly making it right when there is an error.
