What is Audit Activity and How Common is it?

Audit activity includes any audits, inquiries, investigations, reviews or examinations (audit activity) which is instigated by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) or other government revenue authorities to ensure compliance with various tax and legislative requirements.

The ATO and other government revenue authorities continue to focus on audit activity and are consistently provided with additional resources for this purpose.
