Corporate Audits
Corporate Audits are a process in which a companies financial or operational procedures are reviewed to confirm they are operating within the tax law and upholding ethical standards. Audits can be done by internal members of the company, or external teams from independent companies. Lenders, investors or business’s themselves, can request an audit which ensures proper tax reporting is being done and things like tax evasion, embezzlement or other illegal activities are not. Auditors can also be concerned with other types of laws, such as protecting workers safety. In addition to regulatory reasons, audits can help improve the overall health of a company by examining areas of efficiency or effectiveness improvement opportunities.
