tax auditors
Financial record checkers
Tax auditors are government officials who examine tax returns and financial records to verify accuracy and compliance with tax laws.
They review documentation, identify discrepancies, and determine whether taxpayers owe additional taxes or penalties.
The term often carries anxious connotations—few phrases inspire dread like I'm being contacted by tax auditors.
In figurative use, anyone who scrutinizes accounts or seeks accountability: The journalists became tax auditors of the campaign's spending claims.
