Transforming the FBR into a Data Driven Organization – Business Intelligence and Data Mining
Keywords:
FBR, Data Driven Organization, Business Intelligence, Data Mining, tax administrationsAbstract
The role of IT systems is well documented in literature especially the efforts and initiatives taken by tax administrations and the World Customs Organization;, such as steps like developing standards for data interchange, cross-border exchange of information, and so on. With advances in information and communications technology and particularly with the new found ubiquity of business intelligence and data mining methods; tax administrations now have a new milestone avenue to achieve and augment the dual objectives of revenue collection and taxpayer compliance through such methods. This paper attempts to examine this idea to explore if Pakistan’s Federal Board of Revenue could be transformed into a data driven organization through the use of such methods.
