Check of tax returns (5)

I believe the answer is:

audit

(Other definitions for audit that I've seen before include "Review firm's accounts, annual check" , "Conduct annual check of firm's accounts" , "Examine account" , "Go over" , "Carry out annual check of firm's accounts" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
