Program Overview: What is Tax Audit?
Tax Audit is a 23-hour program for tax professionals, controllers, and finance leaders facing tax audits. Across 6 modules it covers audit essentials, procedures, direct and indirect tax audit, and audit management. It suits finance staff with tax basics who need rigorous tax audit practice.
Training is hands-on: every concept is taught through guided labs on realistic company records: participants build audit files, apply procedures, reconcile taxes, and draft replies. The instructor coaches each lab, reviews work, and corrects casual-documentation habits before the authorities arrive.
Companies struggle with tax audits that become ordeals and penalties that were avoidable. This program builds audit discipline: ready files, sound procedures, and confident authority management. Your team gains tax audits that close cleanly.
A 5-hour capstone closes the program, where participants conduct a complete tax audit and present the findings.

Conduct Tax Audits With Supported Tests and Clear Findings
Edstellar develops tax-audit capability through planning, evidence testing, reconciliation, and reporting scenarios. Participants examine sample expenses, direct and indirect tax records, and notice responses before conducting a complete audit. Review focuses on justified procedures, traceable conclusions, and a clear distinction between established findings and issues requiring further evidence.
- Step 01
Consult
We discuss tax knowledge, finance responsibilities, and audit concerns to identify gaps in planning, vouching, sampling, direct-tax review, and indirect-tax reconciliation.
- Step 02
Plan
Audit foundations lead into procedures, direct and indirect tax examination, and audit management before a complete simulated tax audit and findings presentation.
- Step 03
Align
Tax-audit expertise supports finance professionals, controllers, and tax teams, connecting procedures with their existing filing knowledge and responsibilities for records and explanations.
- Step 04
Customize
Fictional expense, ledger, and tax records create realistic testing and notice scenarios without exposing confidential tax positions or making actual submissions to authorities.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants vouch expenses, select samples, reconcile tax records, and draft notice replies, receiving feedback on evidence sufficiency, calculations, reasoning, and report clarity.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the audit for appropriate scope and testing, reconciled figures, supported findings, and clearly documented matters needing additional evidence or corrective action.
