Summary
Tax Inspectors Without Borders (TIWB) is a joint initiative of the OECD and UNDP designed to support developing countries to build tax audit capacity. TIWB facilitates well-targeted, specialised tax audit assistance in developing countries around the world. Under TIWB, tax audit experts work alongside local officials of developing country tax administrations on tax audit and tax audit related issues. TIWB aims to transfer technical know-how and skills to developing countries’ tax auditors, as well as share general audit practices. The host administrations of developing countries are the lead partners in TIWB programmes, clearly specifying their needs and scope of work. A dedicated central unit (TIWB Secretariat) jointly managed by OECD and UNDP operates as a clearing house to match the demand for auditing assistance with appropriate expertise. The initiative will be launched by the Secretary-General of the OECD Angel Gurría and the Administrator of UNDP Helen Clark. By facilitating targeted tax-audit assistance to developing countries, TIWB can make a key contribution to domestic resource mobilisation efforts.
