Course Description

Does the word “audit” send chills down your spine? You’re certainly not alone!

Audits can stem from things you do — or don't do — when filing your tax return

Back in 2011, the CRA published research on the effectiveness of random versus targeted tax audits. They found that random audits detected significant non-compliance issues only 12.2% of the time, while targeted auditing based on risk assessment found significant non-compliance issues 46.7% of the time.

The CRA soon incorporated this data in their systems and now focus on identifying high-risk areas for potential audits rather than relying on random selection. This new method was a huge success, to the point where the federal government is looking to increase funding to the CRA to $1.21 billion allocated to hire new auditors and improve tax compliance. As a result, Ottawa expects to collect $5.82 billion more in taxes by 2025.

This continuing professional development course will help you understand the audit process and how to stay off the CRA’s radar. We will talk about certain positions or types of filing including issues that are more likely to raise the red flags and trigger an audit and what way can you prepare for an audit to avoid penalties or delays
