International Auditor

Canada Revenue Agency • Temps plein

Apr 2021 - Aug 2021 • 4 mos

During my time with the CRA’s International and Large Business Audit Division, I contributed to compliance and audit projects involving cross-border transactions and multinational corporations. As an International Auditor with the Canada Revenue Agency in Ottawa, I supported the International and Large Business Audit Division in compliance and audit projects involving multinational corporations. My work included reviewing international tax compliance and transfer pricing documentation, performing risk assessments and data analysis, and assisting with the preparation of audit working papers in line with CRA standards. I also conducted research on tax treaties, the Income Tax Act, and OECD guidelines to support audit conclusions. This role allowed me to strengthen my knowledge of international taxation, audit methodology, and financial analysis while gaining hands-on experience applying Canadian tax law in a cross-border context.
