How it helps

A decision grounded in approved context.

Review vendor responses, product documentation, designs and integrations against approved tax requirements before contractual commitment or go-live.

Worked example

A realistic decision point.

IT evaluates a procurement or billing application. Its documentation and integration design are reviewed against the organisation’s tax data, determination and reporting requirements, including relevant local conditions.

What can be reviewed

Inputs and possible findings.

The review is tailored to the decision and the applicable approved requirements.

Typical inputs

  • Product and vendor documentation
  • Requirements and configuration proposals
  • Integration designs
  • Test scenarios

Issues that may be identified

  • A required tax field is unsupported
  • Tax registrations or determination inputs are not captured
  • Evidence will not be retained
  • A local invoicing or reporting condition is missing
  • Downstream compliance data will be incomplete

Practical outcome

Clarity for the next decision.

Better informed procurement, architecture and implementation decisions while changes remain practical.
