The Challenge Facing Tax Administration Organizations

Tax administration organizations manage complex financial, compliance, and operational risks—but most lack a structured, enterprise-level risk-based thinking approach tailored specifically to tax administration. This certificate equips tax agencies with a practical framework to identify, prioritize, and manage risk proactively—before it impacts revenue integrity and public trust.

Who This Program Is For

• CPAs and Tax administration professionals

• Finance, compliance and oversight staff

• Public-sector and regulated professionals

Overview

This online certificate program equips tax administration and compliance professionals with a practical understanding of how risk-based thinking and enterprise risk management (ERM) are applied within tax environments.

Participants learn how risk is identified, prioritized, and managed to support strategic, compliance, operational effectiveness, and oversight responsibilities. The course addresses policy risk, organizational risk culture, performance measurement, risk profiling, and risk-informed decision-making—framed specifically for regulated and public-accountability settings.

Tax Leadership Video Interviews

Instruction includes expert insights from federal tax risk leadership, featuring interviews with a former Chief Risk Officer at the Internal Revenue Service, offering a real-world perspective on implementing ERM and risk-based thinking in tax administration.
