A consulting firm tried to play tricks with wages and benefits. First, he confessed, and then with a self-check, he canceled the tax liability and, of course, the payment obligation as well. THE NAV however, one of its risk analysis systems raises an alarm in precisely such cases and nominated the company for investigation.
The auditors contacted the company’s accountant, and it quickly became clear that the self-audit that zeroed out the liabilities did not hold up, since the salary and its contributions were included in the accounting. All indications were that these sums were actually paid. The company also realized that its procedure was not correct, and with another self-check, it admitted and paid the outstanding obligations.
The auditors continued to monitor the company’s declarations, so it turned out that after three months of “normal behavior” the company tried the trick again. However, another check convinced him not to use this method any more. As a result of the procedures, the company declared and paid more than HUF 5 million in tax liability.
