Compliance Checks
Prepared responses. Clean records. Resolved matters.
QUICK LINKS
Compliance Checks & KRA Audits
Receiving a notice from the tax authority can be stressful—but with proper preparation and professional support, it doesn’t have to be disruptive. At MSM Chris, we support businesses undergoing compliance checks, desk reviews, and full tax audits by the revenue authority. We help you prepare accurate responses, defend your tax position, and resolve matters efficiently—whether through clarification, negotiation, or litigation.
Our Approach
We begin with a full review of the audit scope and your historical filings. Our team reconciles tax returns to accounting records, compiles the required documentation, and flags potential exposures before they escalate. We also handle correspondence with the revenue authority and provide technical responses to audit findings. If disputes remain unresolved, we advise on your right to object, escalate, or appeal—supporting you all the way to the Tax Appeals Tribunal (TAT), where needed.
Prepared. Protected. Positioned to Respond.
Our services cover the entire compliance review and dispute resolution lifecycle:
Review of KRA audit notices, risk areas, and documentation requirements
Preparation of reconciliations and audit-ready tax workpapers
Formal responses to audit adjustments and assessments
Representation in discussions and correspondence with KRA
Advisory on objection filing procedures and timelines
Drafting and filing of objection letters and supporting documents
Representation in appeals before the Tax Appeals Tribunal (TAT)
Liaison with external legal counsel where litigation is necessary
Post-audit support, voluntary disclosure, and compliance improvements
At MSM Chris, we not only prepare your defense—we stand with you throughout the process. From first notice to final resolution, we ensure your business is protected, compliant, and positioned for minimal disruption.
