Defense

Our team has broad and deep experience in supporting companies from the time the IRS (or other tax authority) examination/audit begins through to the successful resolution. We are particularly skilled at helping organizations going through their first controversy experience manage and conclude the process positively.

Our defense and controversy competencies include:

  • End-to-end support (from initial inquiry through resolution) for companies of all sizes responding to tax authorities
  • Audit risk reduction through stress-testing documentation and conducting compliance reviews globally
  • Tax valuation and economic analysis in support of tax controversy
  • Expert witness

When our clients are concerned about their ability to manage an audit by a foreign tax authority; are under examination by the IRS; or feel unprepared to respond to document and data requests from local tax authorities, Opportune offers the expertise they need to structure a defense and procure a favorable resolution.
