ISLAMABAD, April 16, 2026 — The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on Thursday constituted a technical committee to review and strengthen its Compliance Risk Management (CRM) framework, aiming to improve tax enforcement efficiency and detect high-risk cases more effectively.
According to an official notification, the committee comprises senior Inland Revenue Service (IRS) officers and technical experts, with oversight from FBR headquarters in Islamabad.
The panel will be chaired by Faheem Mohammad (BS-21), Member Audit/CRM at FBR headquarters. Other members include Irshad Hussain, Director General (Operations) CRM; Ahmad Kamal, Chief Commissioner IR Operations, MTO Karachi; Muhammad Khalid Jamil, Chief Commissioner IR Operations, RTO Gujranwala; Zain-ul-Abidin Sahi, Chief Domains Officer at PRAL; and Shabih-ul-Aijaz, Chief Commissioner IR Operations, LTO Karachi. The committee secretary will be Muhammad Wasim from the IT Cadre.
The committee has been tasked with conducting a comprehensive review of the existing CRM architecture, identifying structural gaps and improving the system’s ability to detect non-compliant or high-risk taxpayers.
Its terms of reference include refining risk indicators, thresholds and rules used in tax risk detection, as well as developing a centralized CRM Risk Register. The panel will also establish clear procedures for handling high-risk cases within field formations.
Additionally, the committee will design a monitoring framework with key performance indicators (KPIs) and real-time dashboards to track case progress and enforcement outcomes.
The FBR said the committee will also evaluate the need for additional data sources, particularly through integration with the Third-Party Compliance Management System (TCMS), to improve data accuracy and coverage.
It will further recommend enhancements in data integration, quality assurance and system interoperability across tax departments.
Where necessary, the committee may form sub-committees involving field officers to focus on Income Tax, Sales Tax and Federal Excise Duty (FED) cases. It may also co-opt additional officers from field formations to support specific technical tasks.
Officials said the initiative reflects FBR’s broader efforts to modernize tax administration and strengthen compliance through data-driven enforcement mechanisms.
