New E-learning Product Now Available

CATA and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) are pleased to announce the introduction of a new E-learning product – Tax Audit Fundamentals (TAF), for use by CATA members.

TAF is an interactive learning experience designed to take new auditors through each stage of conducting an audit. It may be completed entirely online, or alternatively downloaded in PDF format for offline use. An exercise is presented at the conclusion of each unit of TAF to reinforce the learning objectives. There is also a final exercise at the end of the product to enable the learner to check the level of comprehension of basic auditing attained. We encourage all users to provide feedback about TAF to the CRA through the questionnaire included as part of the product. The CRA will monitor user feedback on an ongoing basis.

To access TAF please log in to the members area and select "e-learning: Tax Audit Fundamentals".

TAF was developed by the CRA, in consultation with the CATA Secretariat. CATA and the CRA would like to thank the many volunteer countries who tested the pilot version of TAF, following the 28th Annual Technical Conference in Nairobi, Kenya. Their valuable feedback was of great assistance in the preparation of the final product.

CATA Secretariat also records the deep gratitude of all CATA members to the CRA for this innovative contribution towards the promotion of CATA's aims and objectives, made in accordance with the CRA’s commitment to provide additional resources to the CATA Secretariat.
