Armorel Young Jul 31, 2008:
Francisco - specifically, you need to put the phrase as a whole in inverted commas in the Google search window. Otherwise the results are meaningless.
Armorel Young Jul 31, 2008:
Francisco - you need to improve your Googling technique. Those 3 million refs. you quote are for all instances of "secure" and "proof", not necessarily in combination. If you look for "secure proof documentation" as a phrase there is not one hit.
Regina Freitag Jul 31, 2008:
Hi, I think it means that the documentation will prove to be correct when checked, maybe assessment-proof documentation?

audit-proof documentation

Seems that "audit-proof" is even more commonly used than "audit-compliant".

See examples:

"IMR provides ***audit proof*** documentation"

http://www.dispositionsolutions.com/DS_LearningCenter_Myths....
"Reality: Our thorough documentation of the process is well-honed and ***audit-proof***.
Disposition Solutions Inc. has extensive experience in generating ***audit-proof documentation*** of the asset distribution process. If necessary, we can provide access to accounting professionals with expertise in asset distribution to further smooth the accounting documentation process."

"What can I do to take more of my bottom line home??

Actually small business owners' are the best candidates for tax planning strategies. The tax courts have held that there is nothing illegal or sinister in a tax payer arranging one's affairs so as to pay the lowest tax legally available. PATS tax saving strategies are tested and proven to prevail under audit. ***Audit proof documentation*** and a good business reason for the expense is the proactive stance for using the full breadth of the tax court decisions."

neutral Armorel Young : Would you? Despite the fact that this rather strange phrase doesn't get a single Google hit?

audit-compliant documentation

I'm not sure this is the best choice, but it may start the ball rolling.

As I see it, "prüfungssichere" documentation is documentation that will stand up to any official checks that may be made. This may be checks made by auditors, or it could be checks made e.g. by tax inspectors who want to satisfy themselves that tax calculations have been made on the correct basis. The documention will be prüfungssicher if it provides the necessary evidence that all the right records have been kept and all the calculations correctly made.
