Section 64:06:01:35.04 - Sample periods for audits

An auditor conducting an audit for the department may choose to do a sample audit, random or judgmental, rather than a detailed examination of all records for the audit period. The auditor shall determine the sample size based on the records available, internal controls, changes in the accounting system, and changes in business operations. If the auditor uses a judgmental block sampling method and the taxpayer does not agree to a different percentage, the auditor shall select no less than ten percent of the taxpayer's sales and use tax reporting periods to determine whether sales and use tax was properly charged. The auditor shall apply the error factor, if any, calculated from the sample to all periods of the audit.
