After a
thorough evaluation of our
current audit capabilities and a
careful review of international
best practices in a number of
countries, a National Audit Plan
has been developed focusing on 8
key areas which must be
addressed simultaneously in
order to ensure a successful
audit program. Implementation of
the strategies contained within
the National Audit Plan is
currently underway.
1.
Audit Workforce Management:
FBR is committed to enhancing
its overall management of the
tax audit function and in
particular to the strategies and
methods used for recruiting,
developing, retaining, and
motivating a highly qualified
staff.
2.
Expand Community Outreach:
FBR will seek to establish a
transparent operation by
regularly interacting with the
business community, consistently
publicizing its initiatives, and
creating a strong sense of
presence within the community.
3.
Provide Appropriate Audit
Support Tools: FBR is
committed to providing employees
with the appropriate tools in
which to carry out their
responsibilities effectively.
4.
Identification and Conduct of
the Most Productive Cases:
FBR will ensure its resources
are directed to those areas that
are likely to have the biggest
impact on overall voluntary
compliance. Automated processes
have also been developed to
ensure the selection process is
based upon a sound methodology.
5.
Enhance Knowledge Management
Capabilities: With a
large portion of FBR’s knowledge
residing in the minds of its
employees spread through out the
country, initiatives will be
undertaken to capture and
disseminate the right
information to the right people
at the right time.
6.
Development of Integrated Tax
Management Systems:
FBR realizes in order to
generate the high performance
expected of it a coordinated
effort across all functional
lines of the organization is
critical. The Integrated Tax
Management System will serve as
the primary tool to further
streamline audit activities.
7.
Development of Quality
Measurement Standards:
FBR realizes audits are a major
program activity. Therefore, its
efficiency and effectiveness
should therefore be kept under
constant review. FBR has
established quality standards to
ensure uniformity of
interpretation and application
of the law throughout the
country, as well as, to provide
a consistent and accurate
measure of audit quality.
8.
Development of Key Performance
Indicators: To ensure
the audit activities are
contributing in an optimal way
to FBR's goal of improved
overall compliance with the
laws, a set of performance
measures/indicators has been
developed. A process for close
monitoring of results has also
been established.
FBR believes utilizing a
multi-prong approach to enhance
the audit program, will ensure
the appropriate infrastructure
needed for long-term success.
