How to Audit-Proof Your Books Before the CRA Comes Knocking

If you’re a small business owner in Canada, here’s a hard truth: the CRA has been increasing reviews and audits, especially for small businesses and sole proprietors.

The good news? You can significantly reduce your risk by audit-proofing your books before you’re contacted.
