Usage notes
- More formal and bureaucratic than controllo or verifica; common in official, legal, tax, and administrative contexts.
- In tax language, accertamento often means an official assessment or notice, not just a generic check.
- Use with fare or effettuare: fare un accertamento, effettuare accertamenti. Less natural in casual everyday speech.
