Tax Audit Risk Management with freee

Tax audits in Japan can look back seven years.

Will you scramble to gather seven years of documentation when the notice arrives, or maintain audit readiness as a system that runs continuously? The difference directly impacts response time, cost, and the risk of additional tax assessments.

This book explains how to build a "continuous audit" system using cloud accounting APIs. Five automated checks run monthly to catch missing receipts, amount mismatches, consumption tax classification errors, stale transactions, and duplicate entries — catching problems while they're small.

What you'll learn:

• Common audit findings and how to prevent them
• Practical points on the Electronic Bookkeeping Act and Invoice System
• Double-entry bookkeeping principles and their relationship to cloud accounting
• Recommended cloud accounting configuration checklist
• Building a CI/CD pipeline for monthly automated execution

The concepts are accessible to any business owner. Implementation requires programming knowledge, but the accompanying code repository enables immediate deployment.
