Risk diagnosis
Preventive Audits (Auditorías preventivas)
We find your operation’s weak point before the tax authority reviews you. A diagnosis of declarations, inventories and compliance, with a concrete correction plan.
What it is
Before the authority reviews you
A preventive audit is an internal review, done with the authority’s criteria, of your declarations, tariff classification, inventory control and foreign trade obligations. The goal is to detect and correct risks before they become tax credits, penalties or the cancellation of your program.
