ABOUT THE COURSEThe importance of effective Taxation Data and Document Management is widely underestimated, yet in many cases it can be the critical factor determining success or failure of a country’s revenue drive initiative. With increasing data growth and the resources to manage it are not, this presents a considerable challenge for the country to develop good tax data management.

The purpose of the training is to grow the beneficiaries on knowledge and understanding of what an effective and efficient records/document management solution would do for revenue generation agencies; why it matters for your present and future operations; how to design and implement your system; and how to sell the transition to your stakeholders.

The two week course workshop has been designed to help taxation establishments  staff understand the issues and challenges faced by data and document managers in this sector and recognize the importance of information management. With time-proven methodologies and techniques, the course facilitator, will help the delegates understand and implement key document management tools. Delegates will also be exposed to the use of data quality control, quality assurance and audit procedures.

The course will also highlight the different types of risks facing the taxation sector and provide guidance on disaster recovery and business continuity planning. Last, but not least, delegates will be able to carry out a benefits analysis to quantify the cashable cost savings associated with the implementation of a robust data management framework. This workshop is highly practical and informative. It introduces a number of new tools and techniques that could form the basis of the delegates’ own data and document management strategy. It also provides case histories and access to the experience of one of the leading experts in this field.
