NOT SUFFICIENT for TAX AUDIT.
What we are revealing here is an Insider Know-How that TAX OFFICER will Never want you to know. Let's begin now!
WHY Financial Audit Evidence is not sufficient as Tax Evidence?
In simple words: you cannot use Football when playing Basketball games.
"Financial Audit evidence" is used for internal purposes. It is used to provide reasonable assurance that a company's financial statements are free from Material Misstatement. Where the focus is on "Double Entries" , "Balancing the Accounts" and "Cashflow".
While the "Golden Thread" principle is used in legal proceedings, they don't just look at whether the transaction exist or not. It requires documents which "explains" their link to Tax Deduction Rules.
Tax Officer works on "Golden Thread" Principle
Tax Officers are specifically trained to look for "Golden Thread" Principle. They know it's an easy case when the Accountant just submit a bunch of Receipt and Payment Vouchers.
Example of "Golden Thread" Principle In Action
If you claim a Tax Deduction for a Business Trip, Tax Officer need to see a travel itinerary, a receipt log, and a business purpose statement to support your claim. If you claim a Double Deduction for Research and Development, make sure that you have documentation explaining your research and why you meet the criteria for double deduction, not just submitting a stack of Financial Audit Evidence (ie. receipts, followed by a payment vouchers and third party verification) again and again.
