Frequently Asked Questions

What triggers an ATO audit?

The ATO uses data matching and risk algorithms to identify returns that look unusual. Common triggers include: deductions that are high for your industry, inconsistent income reporting, large one-off claims, and significant changes from previous years. Our risk score helps you spot these issues before lodging.

How is the risk score calculated?

We analyse 7 weighted factors that the ATO publicly states they monitor: income consistency, deduction ratios, benchmark compliance, documentation quality, GST accuracy, category distribution, and timing patterns. Each factor contributes to your overall score from 0 (lowest risk) to 100 (highest risk).

What's included in the audit pack?

The audit pack is a complete ZIP file containing: a professional cover letter, all receipt images organised by category, income and expense summaries, BAS reconciliation, bank statement highlights, and a document index. Everything the ATO typically requests in one download.

What if I actually get audited?

Our Response Playbook guides you step-by-step: how to respond to the initial letter, what documents to provide, your rights during the process, and when to engage a tax agent. Most audits are resolved with proper documentation, which is exactly what we help you prepare.

Don't Wait for the ATO Letter

By the time you receive an audit notice, it's too late to fix your records. Get ahead of the ATO with proactive monitoring and complete documentation.
