The Inland Revenue may suspect fraud has taken place. Consider whether there are any risk factors that make your company more likely than others to be investigated. For example, is your business in a high risk sector?
It is important not to rely solely on your company accountants to supply you with the information the Inland Revenue is requesting as they are in a difficult position given the nature of their investigations. But it is imperative that at this stage you should take formal legal advice from solicitors experienced in business fraud so that you get proper representation.
