Also present at the event were (from left to right): BIR Deputy Commissioner for Information Systems Lilia C. Guillermo, Managing Director and CEO Ma. Victoria A?onuevo of Millennium Challenge Account-Philippines (MCA-P), BIR Commissioner Kim S. Jacinto Henares, Resident Country Director Matthew Bohn of Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), and BIR Deputy Commissioner for Resource Management Celia C. King.
The renovation was part of the U.S. government?s $434 million MCC grant to reduce poverty and promote economic growth in the Philippines.
The newly renovated Laboratory and Training Room are part of an Automated Audit Tools sub-activity under the five-year Revenue Administration Reform Project (RARP) funded by the U.S. Government?s MCC and supervised by MCA-P.? The other components of RARP include the implementation of the Electronic Tax Information System, a Public Awareness Campaign, and provision of tools to the Department of Finance to reduce corruption in customs and revenue collection.
MCC thru MCA-P funded the renovation of the CAATTs Laboratory and Training Room and the provision of computers, audit software, and other equipment.? BIR uses audit software as a tool to conduct audits, using a laboratory model to ensure security. The training room is intended to expand the skills of revenue officers on computer-assisted audits.
The project is expected to help BIR come up with a more comprehensive database that can be used for tax collection and to support other BIR activities such as benchmarking, industry audit, and to address the issue of transfer pricing. The audit software shall be used for audit of interrelated transactions and third party verification, which will eventually lead to increased revenue collection.
