Electronic Audit of SPEDs

At Bernhoeft, our Electronic Audit of SPEDs is designed to anticipate and mitigate tax risks by simulating the same validation parameters used by tax authorities. It’s a proactive analysis that helps your company stay ahead of potential fiscal issues.

Using a system configured with the Brazilian tax authority’s own auditing rules, we go beyond checking a single tax return — we cross-reference data across multiple digital filings to ensure internal consistency and accuracy.

This electronic audit identifies errors, inconsistencies, mismatches, and potential tax exposures, helping to avoid penalties and optimize your tax compliance processes.

Our service provides a detailed risk report with issue statuses, annotations, and expert recommendations. Whether your concern is avoiding fines or improving data quality and ERP configurations, our audit delivers financial, operational, and strategic value.
