AuditDefence™

We understand that effective tax representation doesn’t stop at determining the tax treatment of a particular transaction or issue. Our professionals also understand the structure and methodology of audits and use the knowledge gained from years of audit representation to develop strategic tax reduction techniques. These include expanded audit samples, post-audit stratification, and differential analysis, among others. Our combined knowledge of tax legislation, audit strategy and methodology, and our emphasis on technical expertise, guarantees that our representation is unmatched in the industry.

We scour every detail in a pending assessment and identify tax minimization opportunities by evaluating the auditor’s sampling methods, verifying assessment and interest calculations, researching taxability, compiling supporting documentation, and much more. We determine which issues merit an appeal, as well as the likelihood of success for each, and evaluate and prepare detailed findings and case arguments.
