Audit 2.0 Project (Architect, Technical Project Manager)

The Audit 2.0 Project —formerly known as the Coordinated Tax Inspection System— is a public R&D initiative aimed at transforming tax inspection processes from labor-intensive methods into technology-intensive, fully digital workflows. As an umbrella project, it encompasses several sub-projects, each designed to modernize a different stage of the audit cycle:

1. Process Steps Project:
   Interactive tracking and monitoring of audit-related business processes in a fully digital environment.

2. Electronic Inspection File Project:
   Electronic archiving and centralized storage of financial documents related to tax inspections.

3. Remote Submission Project:
   Remote presentation of electronic documents through secure e-signature infrastructure.

4. Report Automation System Project:
   Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for tax inspection report drafting and workflow acceleration.

5. Electronic Ledger and Invoice Analysis Project:
   Automated examination of e-ledgers and e-invoices using machine-based analytical audits.

6. Audit Coordination Project:
   Transitioning individual audit assignments into coordinated team-based audit operations.

7. Inspection Presentation / Preparation File:
   Integration of OECD SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Tax) principles into the audit preparation phase.

8. E-Minute (E-Minutes System):
   A digital system enabling minutes and audit records traditionally kept on paper to be created, stored, and managed electronically.

9. VDKonferans:
   A secure teleconference and remote training platform developed for audit activities, training programs, and interdepartmental communication.

10. Petition and Information Request System:
    A digital communication platform enabling taxpayers to submit petitions and receive official responses electronically.

11. Collateral Assessment System:
    A rule-based risk analysis tool that evaluates whether conditions requiring collateral have been triggered and provides automated recommendations to decision-makers.

12. Tax Intelligence System:
    A tax intelligence platform using graph database technology to detect risk-based relational patterns between taxpayers and transactions.

13. Forensic Tables System:
    A digital reporting system that automatically generates summary financial and analytical tables to support judicial authorities and reduce workload.

Audit 3.0 Project (Architect, Technical Project Manager)

The Audit 3.0 Project is an umbrella digital transformation initiative designed to integrate artificial intelligence into audit processes and achieve full automation. It brings together AI, machine learning, large language models (LLMs), big data analytics, and robotic automation within a unified architecture.

Sub-Projects:

1. KURGAN (Foundation-Supervised Analysis):
   A real-time tax risk analysis platform developed by the Tax Inspection Board’s Risk Analysis Center. It processes live transactional data, performs transaction-level risk scoring, and scans economic activities using advanced big data analytics.

2. Whistleblower Processing System:
   An intelligent decision-support system that standardizes whistleblower submissions, performs OCR scanning, identifies persons/entities/assets using NLP, and generates summaries using LLM-based reasoning.

3. Right Inspector for the Right Work System:
   A machine-learning–powered decision-support tool that matches inspectors with taxpayers based on attributes such as speed, expertise, suitability, and workload efficiency, offering multiple assignment options to managers.

4. Pre-Evaluation System for Audit Reports:
   An AI-assisted control system that reviews tax inspection reports before committee evaluation, using LLMs to assess language, flow, consistency, and compliance with regulations, and recommends corrections.

5. Pre-Return Oversight Project:
   A proactive oversight system that provides taxpayers with guidance on potential tax risks before filing their tax returns, aiming to improve compliance and increase risk awareness.
