IRD Audit and Review

Dealing with Inland Revenue (IRD) reviews and audits is a normal part of doing business in New Zealand.  Any business can be selected for review, whether through IRD's risk based selection guideline or simply at random.



For many businesses, the process can feel not only daunting but also overwhelming due to limited resources.  When IRD seeks clarification or takes a closer look at your financial affairs, you can rely on our extensive experience in managing IRD reviews and investigations.  We can guide you through the process, provide clear advice, and work to achieve the best possible outcome for your business.

Adding Value to IRD Audit

We believe an IRD audit should be more than a review of past business dealings or the risk of penalties.  It can also be an opportunity to strengthen your system and improve the way your business operates going forward. 

IRD audit service involves:

  • A thorough, objective review of your business operations
  • Identification of key risks, inefficiencies, and potential problem areas
  • Constructive advice to improve internal controls and business dealings
  • Assurance that your financial records meet all regulatory requirements
