FBR announces transfers of senior tax auditors

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has announced the transfers and postings of senior auditors, effective immediately and until further orders.

The reshuffling of positions involves several officers and is intended to enhance the efficiency of key audit departments.

The following transfers and postings have been notified by the FBR:

1. Abbas Ahmed, Assistant Director (Audit)/BS-18:

• Transferred to the Directorate of Post Clearance Audit (Central), Lahore.

• Previous Posting: Corporate Tax Office, Lahore.

2. Muhammad Nasim, Assistant Director (Audit)/BS-18:

• Transferred to the Directorate of Post Clearance Audit (Central), Lahore.

• Previous Posting: Corporate Tax Office, Lahore.

3. Basit Ikram, Senior Auditor (BS-16):

• Transferred to the Directorate of Internal Audit North (Customs), Islamabad.

• Previous Posting: Large Taxpayers Office, Lahore.

4. Imran Ahmed, Senior Auditor (BS-16):

• Transferred to the Directorate of Internal Audit (Customs), Islamabad.

• Previous Posting: Regional Tax Office, Rawalpindi.

5. Muhammad Sadiq, Senior Auditor (BS-16):

• Transferred to the Directorate of Post Clearance Audit (Central), Lahore.

• Previous Posting: Regional Tax Office, Lahore.

The FBR clarified that officers currently receiving performance allowances will continue to receive the same in their new assignments.

These transfers and postings reflect the FBR’s commitment to organizational efficiency and the strategic deployment of its human resources. The redistribution of personnel to key audit departments, such as the Directorate of Post Clearance Audit and Directorate of Internal Audit, is likely aimed at optimizing the performance of these critical functions.

The Directorate of Post Clearance Audit plays a crucial role in ensuring compliance with customs regulations and assessing the accuracy of declarations after the clearance of goods. On the other hand, the Directorate of Internal Audit is responsible for reviewing internal controls and processes within the Customs department, contributing to enhanced transparency and accountability.

The FBR’s decision to maintain performance allowances for officers undergoing transfers reinforces the importance of recognizing and rewarding excellence in service. This approach is likely to motivate officers to continue delivering high-quality work in their new assignments.

As the FBR implements these changes, it underscores the dynamic nature of organizational management and the continuous efforts to align resources with evolving priorities. The reshuffling of senior auditors aims to strengthen the FBR’s capabilities in critical areas, ultimately contributing to the overall effectiveness of the revenue collection and audit processes.
