Tax and Revenue Management: A government’s lifeblood
IT has provided the opportunities for governments to remodel the entire process of tax collection over the last decade. It is, however, a continuously evolving process and governments the world over need to constantly upgrade their tax systems to optimise their revenue workflows.
Unlocking Public Value
A recent SAP study confirmed that those organisations which adopt best practices in the areas of scope and adoption, process standardisation, technology and customer governance, do perform better, and do so as their best practice maturity increases.

South Korean govt to open 24-hour swine flu crisis centre
Following the World Health Organisation’s upgrade of the pandemic alert for swine flu by one level to Phase 5—the second-highest on its threat scale—South Korea is taking further steps to combat the virus by opening a 24-hour swine flu crisis centre.
The Ministry for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs says the crisis centre will provide treatment methods for hospitals, secure additional anti-viral drugs, and develop plans to produce a vaccine against the swine virus.
The centre will be headed by Jeon Jae-hee, Minister for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs.
She said Thursday (April 30th) that this latest measure raises the status of the central prevention centre that used to be headed by the Director of Korea Centres for Disease Control and Prevention to the “Central Swine Influenza Crisis Centre”.
The minister has urged citizens to follow safety instructions given out by the government, while assuring the public that the government is closely and thoroughly taking appropriate quarantine measures.
The declaration of phase 5 by the WHO, announced by Director General Margaret Chan, means that a pandemic is imminent, but not inevitable.
