Audit targeting for tax and revenue authorities
Revenue Assurance Engine
AI-led audit targeting lets a finite inspectorate focus on the returns most likely to recover revenue. The engine ranks tax returns for audit as e-invoicing and filing data arrives, and explains every flag.
Where current methods reach their limits
- Risk parameters are set at the start of the year and cannot follow a sector that changes mid-year.
- Credibility checks rely on fixed rules and miss traders who are not yet registered.
- Electronic invoicing volumes are outgrowing manual review.
What the solution delivers
- Early detection of VAT chain breaks for targeted inspection.
- Fewer incorrect refunds and more tax collected.
- Inspectors allocated to the highest-risk cases, with reasons.
- Plain-language reports and questions answered in natural language.
