Don't panic!
Are you wondering why you are being checked? Suspicions, anonymous reports or control notifications are not always the reason. There are also
- Random selections
- Focused industry audits and
- regular audits without special cause.
How often companies are audited depends in particular on their size. Statistically speaking, very small companies are only audited very rarely, whereas large companies with millions in turnover are audited on an ongoing basis.
Incidentally, 1.7 % of all companies in Germany were audited in 2023 For large companies, the rate was 17.8 %.
