Ms Kate Levey:

The Revenue audit system is based on risk. Our large cases division deals with the largest taxpayers in the State. This incorporates many of the multinationals and many companies that are automatically subject to this directive. They are basically audited on a risk-based profile. Audits on companies of this kind are performed by the transfer of pricing teams within our large cases division.
