AbacusOrganiser is a highly flexible yet simple to use web-enabled process and risk management tool integrated into the Abacus software suite.
AbacusOrganiser Corporate Tax Self Assessment (CTSA) comprehensively incorporates UK corporate tax administration rules into the system, allowing the straightforward implementation of a powerful solution without the need for bespoke process analysis.
Features
Guiding users step by step through the compliance year, AbacusOrganiser CTSA highlights and prioritises personal deadlines. Both statutory dates and a configurable workflow are included. Each user is presented with a clear colour-coded to-do list showing outstanding tasks in accordance with their role and their particular responsibilities. Each item on the to-do list is a link to a page where data and documents relating to the task can be stored, and guidance can be obtained.
All data is held in a single database from which reports may be obtained, either to help individual users with their work or for management, tracking progress and monitoring risk issues across the whole organisation. The system can also be configured to generate emails automatically, proactively managing risk by alerting users to key events.
Other features include:
Processes
The CTSA rule pack includes four key processes, continuously maintained to incorporate up-to-date Deloitte expertise:
Benefits By implementing agreed CTSA working processes across a whole organisation AbacusOrganiser improves transparency, consistency and communication. It is an ideal tool to help make process improvement reality.
The system facilitates clarity for management in monitoring what is to be done, when and by whom, quickly highlighting where risks exist and so where resources should be focused. AbacusOrganiser CTSA brings value by proactively managing risk, rather than leaving you to study lists of unimportant information.
Users are assisted in managing their workload with improved administrative efficiency, reducing the risk of missing important deadlines, and potentially enabling work to be completed by less experienced staff.
Data stored as users work through processes becomes a permanent record of operations. Analysis of this data across an organisation can be used to identify systematic weaknesses and areas of performance difficulty.
Implementation
AbacusOrganiser CTSA is designed to provide a simple out-of-the-box implementation of the AbacusOrganiser system for clients whose principal goal in process improvement is to manage risk relating to UK corporate tax deadlines. By implementing a standardised well-established process package this version of AbacusOrganiser offers ease of installation, use, training and support.
Nevertheless the system incorporates considerable flexibility to adapt the encoded CTSA rules and workflows if desired. A typical implementation will include one day of on-site discussion, analysis and configuration, included within the licence fee, to tailor the system exactly to a client's needs.
Beyond CTSA: Bespoke AbacusOrganiser
AbacusOrganiser CTSA offers a clear upgrade path to the implementation of more advanced process modelling. Huge flexibility is available in this regard to bring clarity and control to whatever additional working practices are significant for an organisation.
Processes may be developed for any fiscal system in any jurisdiction, however simple or complex. Examples could include EU-wide indirect tax, CFC reporting rules, oil & gas taxation, or simply a client's own workflow leading up to the production of figures for the accounts.
Following the analysis of business processes, a bespoke implementation is likely to include the definition of reports, emails, standard documents, a help system, and interfaces to other systems in accordance with the needs of the organisation.
Processes may be remodelled and enhanced at any time. In this way the implementation of AbacusOrganiser may be considered a continuous learning process, gradually progressing towards greater automation, consistency and risk control in a client's operations.
