Audit
The goal of our audit team is to assess and collect all taxes that the General Assembly placed under the control of the Tax Administrator in the most efficient and cost-effective manner and to foster voluntary compliance with the tax laws by instilling public confidence through professional, impartial, and ethical conduct.
We know that tax compliance can be stressful and will work with you to make sure a fair audit is conducted and you are kept informed each step of the way.
