What are the main elements of a customs and tax audit?
Customs and tax auditing is an essential process for companies involved in international trade. It is made up of several key phases, whose fundamental objectives are based on improving operability, ensuring security, streamlining customs processes and training staff.
The first phase of this audit involves identifying the critical processes in the company’s international trade. This includes a detailed analysis of customs processes, as well as purchasing and sales procedures, paying special attention to the control of customs representatives, order tracking and traceability.
This is followed by a security assessment of all operations. This ranges from physical security measures at the premises to the protection of information and computer systems, as well as production and logistics processes.
The optimization of customs processes is another key objective. The audit focuses on simplifying and improving customs-related formalities and procedures, in order to streamline procedures and reduce costs. Personalized advice is provided for this purpose by experts in the sector.
It is also important to conduct a thorough review of the staff training involved in tasks related to international trade. This is done based on the specific needs of the company and its future projections.
