Attendees will walk away with practical steps to strengthen documentation, improve financial oversight and run their practice with confidence.


Learning Objectives 

  1. Identify common IRS audit triggers specific to dental practices.
  2. Assess your practice’s financial areas that may create unnecessary audit risk.
  3. Apply practical documentation and accounting habits that strengthen audit defense.
