Andrea Kinsman, Tax Auditor
Me and My Job
Some challenges
Auditing work can be somewhat stressful, but with proper planning and organizing, the pressures are manageable. I've got to manage all the files and chart dates as they flow in. I have to stay on top of timelines, keep in touch with taxpayers, and follow up on requested information.
My other challenge is dealing with people who may be upset about an audit. I have to explain the audit process and the proposal adjustments I've made. This happens because the Income Tax Act is not black and white and there are some areas that are left for interpretation.
