Tax risk map

The heart of UNE 19602 is the tax risk map: where tax compliance could fail, and with what consequence.

Content reviewed on

Identifying tax risks

Reviewing every process with tax impact —invoicing, VAT, withholdings, transfer pricing— to identify risks.

Tax risk assessment

Evaluating the likelihood and impact of each risk, including exposure to penalties.

Prioritization and treatment

Deciding which risks need additional controls and which are already covered by existing controls.

What an auditor usually asks for

  • A tax risk map by process
  • A documented likelihood and impact assessment
  • Risk prioritization with an explicit criterion
