"In any tax consulting project, data verification and sampling is of utmost importance to me and a step I would ensure happens with every client here at Haines Watts. Depending on the accounting and finance department's books and how they are kept, my data verification could be as simple as printing documents and verifying samples against filed information or running the data verification through a program. I have extensive experience running both methods of data verification and wouldn't hesitate to use either with the clients here."
