Development of an e-invoicing project
E-invoicing has a strong impact on tax compliance if the implementation is strategically planned, involving key stakeholders, and ensuring that key data analysis capabilities are in place. At the request of the Moroccan tax administration, METAC supported the initial steps in the development of an e-invoicing project. During 4-17 July, METAC helped the General Directorate of Taxes to assess the current situation, specific needs, and expectations. During a series of productive workshops and brainstorming sessions, the appropriate invoicing model was selected. The joint work also resulted in a benefits-driven project plan and schedule for the preparation of functional and technical specifications and the required change management arrangements. The Moroccan authorities have an ambitious plan, dedicated resources and every prospect of success working with METAC.
Improving the use of Emerging Data Analysis Technologies
In Rabat, Morocco, from July 15-24, METAC supported the Moroccan Customs Service in developing the necessary skills to design and implement machine learning models in Python software, specializing in dynamic selectivity. An intensive workshop was organized to build capacity in this area. It is a strategic objective of the Moroccan Customs to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) strategies to make more effective use of data and improve revenue collection using cutting-edge technology to detect fraudulent transactions. The workshop was attended by five dedicated officers from the Risk Management, Statistics, and IT departments. The participants brought a deep understanding of their customs environment, facilitating an in-depth and engaging learning experience.
