Risk Review

• Congratulations! The good news is that you are not in audit
• Here’s an opportunity for you to review your own account, because If IRD had to review your account then it’s called Audit

• The timely response to IRD with professional approach may reduce penalties and avoid prosecution to you

IRD Audits

• Co-operation and communication with IRD throughout the audit process is essential
• Make sure your record-keeping is up-to-date
