Beware Of The Tax Man

Chart depicting a telephone poll asking whether companies have been audited in the last ten years.

 

DECEMBER 1990

Has your company been audited in the last 10 years?

Yes 14% No 86%

Growth rate was apparently not a red flag for the IRS. Audited companies had 20% annual growth on average, compared with 16% for unaudited companies.
