Why Do Companies Get Audited?
Financial audits create an objective picture of the health of your company. They can prove your tax standing and inform shareholders about whether you’re a good investment or not.Formal audits are usually performed by one of three third-party entities:}
- The Internal Revenue Service (IRS):
The IRS typically audits businesses with questionable financial records or tax filings, but they will occasionally randomly audit companies.}
- Independent firms:
Interested parties can request an audit if they want deeper information on a company’s finances.For example, interested buyers may request an audit if a company is preparing for sale.
- Stakeholders:
Sometimes, a CFO or other internal stakeholder will hire an auditor to perform a health check and identify areas that could be cut or improved.
