(July 3, 2015)

The OECD has announced that The Tax Inspectors Without Borders (TIWB) initiative will be officially launched on July 13, 2015 during the Third UN Conference on Financing for Development, which is to be held in Addis Ababa. The TIWB initiative has been in a trial operational phase to end December 2014. Progress has been reviewed and TIWB will be developed in partnership with UNDP.

According to the OECD the objective of the TIWB initiative is to enable the transfer of tax audit knowledge and skills to tax administrations in developing countries through a real time, “learning by doing” approach. Experts – currently serving or recently retired tax officials – are deployed to work directly with local tax officials on current audits and audit-related issues concerning international tax matters, and to share general audit practices. A panel of leading figures will discuss the future development of the initiative on July 13, 2015 in Addis Abeba.
