aspect investigation


Explanation:
This is a simple look at the information I can find from my desktop -- I have no direct experience with this. But the Skatteverket seems to have three kinds of 'investigations' or 'kontrollformer' which are described here - diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:238974/FULLTEXT01.pdf

P. 12 has definitions, where they describe 'skrivbordskontroll' - basically to check that the paperwork is completed and correct.

My suggestion comes from British sources, as in https://wmtllp.com/faq/what-types-of-investigation-are-there...
Where three types of tax investigations are described including "Aspect – where HMRC want to assess one or more areas of your tax information"

Could be something if you need a technical term ... otherwise 'desktop investigation' is out there as a possibility.
