Tax audits and investigations are becoming increasingly complex as organisations operate across multiple jurisdictions, process high volumes of digital transactions, and face greater regulatory scrutiny. Traditional sample-based audit methods may fail to identify hidden transaction patterns, control weaknesses, tax leakage, and indicators of financial misconduct.
This practical masterclass equips participants with modern frameworks for conducting data-driven tax audits and forensic investigations. Attendees will explore risk-based audit planning, transaction testing, forensic accounting techniques, fraud indicators, digital evidence management, investigative interviewing, and the preparation of defensible findings.
The programme also examines how data analytics, automation, artificial intelligence, and continuous monitoring can strengthen audit coverage and improve investigative accuracy. Participants will learn how to connect financial, operational, and tax data to identify anomalies, assess exposure, and support evidence-based decisions.
