Agreed Audit Procedures for Accounting and Tax Reporting

Audit with large sampling of accounting data, accounting methodology and recalculation of tax reporting indicators allows identifying and minimizing the risks of non-compliance with the requirements of tax legislation and assessing the company’s readiness for tax audit.

Tax audit projects are implemented using the International Standard on Related Services 4400, “Engagements to Perform Agreed-Upon Procedures Regarding Financial Information”, which are approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB).

The experience of MGI PSP Audit in provision of this service has been successfully implemented in the developed and patented guidelines for the implementation of audit procedures for accounting and tax reporting and preparation of the resulting document. This allows to form a unified approach to the work methodology of our experts and ensure its proper control.
