While working as an auditor for Anderson & Co., I was involved in representing a retail client during an audit initiated by the revenue service to verify compliance with tax regulations. The organization had recently expanded its operations across international borders, adding multiple layers of complex tax regulations to its operations.
My role was to ensure the company's books were in order, its tax calculations were accurate, and it was fully compliant with all the relevant tax jurisdictions. Using my knowledge of domestic and international tax laws, I collaborated with the client's finance department to scrutinize every fiscal document and conducted a thorough audit. There were minor discrepancies which were corrected immediately.
After several rounds of correspondence with tax authorities, an agreement was reached on the correctness of the company's filings, leading to no fines or penalties for the client. Moreover, my detailed audit provided valuable insights for the client's finance department regarding best practices for maintaining compliance with international tax laws.
