You know how to spot a cavity before it gets worse. But can you spot audit trouble before it arrives? Dental offices face audits for tax, wage, and insurance compliance every year.
Audit Red Flags
- Missing receipts or vague expense records
- Commingling business and personal accounts
- Inconsistent payroll or odd bonuses
- Unfiled tax payments or late submissions
How to Audit-Proof Your Dental Practice
1. Go Paperless (and Organized)
Keep digital copies of every document—easily searched, easily shared.
2. Set Monthly Reviews
Don’t let “oh, I’ll catch up later” become your motto.
3. Separate Accounts
Never use business accounts for family groceries (or vice versa!).
4. Get a Professional Review
Have a dental-savvy CPA or bookkeeper audit your books quarterly.
Why It Matters
The IRS (and state boards) love unprepared practices. But you can turn the tables—be prepared, be organized, and get peace of mind. Need help? SkillBench brings dental compliance know-how and pain-free audit prep to your practice.
