A new initiative known as Tax Inspectors Without Borders (TIWB) has been launched by the OECD and United Nations Development Programme with the aim of improving the domestic revenues of developing countries. This is to be achieved by strengthening the tax audit capacities of such countries.

It is envisaged that tax experts will work with tax administrations of developing countries to improve the capability of tax audits and thereby increase domestic revenues. Several pilot projects have already begun in Albania, Ghana and Senegal. It appears that a dedicated unit has been put in place to provide audit assistance where required.
