Product Description
Be prepared when a tax review or audit arises
When you or a client faces a tax review or audit, knowing how to prepare and what issues to address is essential. But effective preparation starts well before an audit notification arrives, with appropriate record keeping, an understanding of relevant risks and regular attention to key compliance matters.
Join Mike Hadwin for a practical webinar examining the technical and procedural issues involved in preparing for a tax review or audit. You’ll explore the key considerations, from voluntary disclosures and external advice to access to records, workpapers, privilege and non-disclosure. A practical checklist will be provided and reviewed during the session to help you put the key considerations into practice.
