cingiu-se
A pesar que no texto a traduzir escreveram cingiu-se com "s" achou que está errado.
Será que cingiu-se pode ser também "focus and/or supress"
A frase completa é: "......nos exercícios em análise, cingiu-se apenas na verificação da liquidação e declaração do IVA de modo a certificar se as vendas ......."

I would say that "for the reported periods, the audit/work conducted was restricted to checking that VAT had been paid and declared. I think this must be the sense of the sentence.

Parece uma tentativa tortuosa de dizer de forma elegante uma coisa simples: "cingiu-se/limitou-se à verificação...". :(
Julgo que (cingiu-se + apenas) já tem algo de pleonasmo.
Creio pois que a interpretação e sugestão da Ana Vozone está correta e adequada.
