A typical day

Most of it is reading. You open a case file, work through returns, bank records and ledgers, and look for the places where the numbers do not agree with each other. You send written questions to the taxpayer or their accountant and wait. Some days you are at a business, sitting in a back office going through paper. Then you write it up: what you found, what the law says, what is owed. The taxpayer can disagree, so the report has to be able to survive that.
