Compliance Risk Management in Taxation

Use risk frameworks and data analytics to focus compliance efforts where they matter.

Programme overview

Build your professional perspective.

Compliance Risk Management (CRM) has become a cornerstone of modern tax administration, enabling revenue authorities to allocate resources more effectively, improve voluntary compliance, and strengthen revenue collection. By leveraging data analytics and risk-based approaches, tax administrations can identify high-risk taxpayers, detect emerging compliance issues, and implement targeted interventions while maintaining a balanced approach between enforcement and taxpayer support. This programme provides participants with practical knowledge of compliance risk management frameworks, analytical tools, and international best practices, drawing on OECD and African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF) experiences to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of tax administration.
