Tax cheat's dread (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

audit

'tax cheat's dread' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for audit that I've seen before include "Stocktake" , "Inspection of records" , "Examine accounts" , "Carry out annual check of firm's accounts" , "Thoroughgoing check" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, The New York Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
