It could start with a BAS, Superfund or Workers Compensation inquiry and spread to your whole business. Responding to the inquiry or audit could take your book-keeper or accountant hours and cost your business thousands.

Government agencies continue to announce significant increases in their audit activity and sophisticated computer cross checking is making additional inquiries much more likely.
What are the costs to my business of Random Government Audits and Investigations?
If your business or individual return is subjected to a random audit, review or investigation, you are responsible for the costs involved in providing the required information. Even a simple enquiry can require hours of work by your financial representative (your book-keeper or accountant) to respond effectively - even if your records are up to date and you have done nothing wrong.
If you get audited you need the best help available to minimise the risk of the investigation becoming
extended.
In some cases, specialist accountants and lawyers could be involved and your business could face serious cash flow problems - the inquiry could even spread to your customers.
