Audit Representation
Who's REpresenting you when the state comes calling?
Sales and Use Tax Audits are complex, time-consuming, and often overstated —especially if you don’t speak the auditor’s language.
If you have been assessed by the state, or are facing a Sales & Use Tax Audit, consider what YOU need to defend your tax position and protect your company’s tax incentives. Read our blog to learn how senior-level tax experience, insider knowledge, and sampling expertise are 3 key components for any audit representation.
With CPRS, you get a team of former state auditors with 115+ years of combined experience. We know how the audit process works from the inside out—and we use that knowledge to guide, represent, and protect our clients every step of the way.
Whether you’re just receiving your audit notice or already in the thick of it, we step in as your advocate—managing auditor communications, gathering documentation, negotiating sample plans, and reducing your burden wherever possible.
How It Works
Our Audit Representation services are designed to reduce disruption and drive results, from audit notice to resolution.
We handle auditor communications, prepare data requests, and coordinate all phases of the audit based on your preferences—from behind-the-scenes support to full representation.
Our team’s background as former state auditors helps us anticipate auditor needs, present documentation in familiar formats, and speak their language to reduce confusion—and risk.
We negotiate with auditors to ensure reasonable and representative sampling plans. We evaluate populations, advise on statistical methods, and separate high-risk areas when appropriate to avoid inflated projections.
When available, we guide clients through state-managed audit programs that offer financial incentives in exchange for self-managed audit work—handled by CPRS on your behalf.
