This reflects a structural trend: tax audits in France are increasingly intertwined with criminal enforcement.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3695\" data-end=\"3886\">For foreign groups and high-net-worth individuals, this means that tax risk management must now include not only accounting and legal strategies, but also <strong data-start=\"3850\" data-end=\"3883\">criminal defense preparedness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3893\" data-end=\"3909\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3910\" data-end=\"4109\">Tax audits in France are no longer a mere administrative formality.
