Trading record audit

Do you know how expensive it is ?
Is it correct that the purpose of getting your trading record audited is to establish the legitimacy of your record ?

Thanks.
 
you only get audited for failing to pay tax if you owe money.

your 'annual' p/l statements shows a profit.

Does anyone have any personal experience of getting your trading record audited ?

Yes, an audit in this context is to "verify financial records"...

Years ago, it cost $5,000 per year for less than name-brand auditor.

Yes and it is not fun. What type of gains are you talking about? Many ways to get an audit. I was dealing with a shady day trader accountant and all of us got hit. I know of other who got one from dealing with a sneaky/s-bag llc(they gave the trader one amount and sent in to the IRS another amount).
 
What you need to do is print out your runs every day. Save them in a box, and if they come knocking say here have fun. I worked for the state before i was a trader and was in the audit department. It is easy to turn someones life upside down.

You're talking about an IRS audit... OP is asking about a "financial audit" to verify performance. Note even remotely related.
