Audit Ready or Audit Risk? Building Confidence Before the Call Comes

Welcome to Riding the Wave of Global Tax Change, with your host Karolina from the Global Tax Team at Wolters Kluwer.Sales tax audits are becoming more frequent, more data-driven, and more complex—but many organizations are still approaching them reactively. In this episode, Karolina sits down with Joanne to unpack what audit readiness really looks like in 2026. From understanding nexus exposure and ensuring transaction accuracy to managing exemption certificates and reducing manual risk, they explore the practical steps tax teams can take to stay prepared. The focus isn’t on scrambling when an auditor calls—it’s on building consistent, defensible processes that reduce disruption, cost, and stress long before that happens. To support your audit readiness journey, you can access additional resources here:Click here to register for a Sales Tax Audit Readiness ChecklistClick here for 5 ways to reduce sales tax audit risk, disruption, and costDislaimer:This podcast is intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal, financial, or professional advice.
