Technical Assistance for Revenue Administration and Revenue Policy - Albania

Work with Albanias General Directorate of Taxation (GDT) and the National Agency of Natural Resources (AKBN) to improve the capacity for auditing and compliance activities for tax and revenues from companies working in the petroleum sector. Classroom-based and on-the-job training will increase auditors knowledge of the business practices for the petroleum industry, result in strengthened audit procedures for petroleum revenues, help develop risk analysis and audit strategy, and build mechanisms to improve cooperation and exchange of information between AKBN and GDT. Intermittent advisors have provided intermittent assistance since March 2020. The project will extend into 2022 to allow for on-the-job mentoring and final project close-out, once international travel resumes.
