Subject Matter Category #3: Tax Collection, Fraud Prevention, and Detection
Experience Overview
Deloittes Tax and Financial Advisory practices are among the largest in the world. We have extensive experience helping our
public sector and State government clients design state of the art integrated solutions that help optimize costs and maximize
efficiency of the tax services provided to citizens, while ensuring proper controls exist to minimize fraud and abuse. We
leverage our expertise in information technology, system design and implementation, forensic technology, predictive and
statistical modeling and data mining to deliver such solutions. Our practitioners have a deep understanding of tax law and filing
requirements, tax authorities, culture, tax processing environment, and strong experience in providing forensic investigation and
anti-fraud consulting services to our clients. We have worked extensively with tax authorities in designing and implementing tax
refund processing systems that are not only efficient but also help in addressing challenges faced in anomaly detection.
Deloitte is the only firm in the nation that has successfully integrated a State government with the U.S. Treasury Department in
order to allow the State government to participate in the Federal-State Administrative Offset program. We leveraged the lessons
learned and best practices from our two-year integration project with the State of Maryland, and developed a new, innovative
service offering called D.LINX (Deloittes Liability Offset Integration Exchange) to significantly accelerate State governments
participation in this program with very minimal up-front investments.
In addition we have extensive experience serving public sector clients, including multiple State and Federal government
agencies. As detailed below, we have assisted State of Florida, Department of Revenue; and State of Maryland, Office of the
Comptroller, to design and implement integrated solutions that have addressed their needs for efficient tax refund processing
and recovery of delinquent tax debts.
D.LINX (Deloittes Liability Offset Integration Exchange) Service
D.LINX is a public-private partnership offering that provides a low-cost, contingency fee-based alternative for rapidly accelerating
State participation in the Federal-State Administrative Offset program. The 2011 market release of this new, innovative service
offering has received positive acclaim, especially from State governments that are earnestly looking for new ways to accelerate
the collection of cash owed to the Treasury (working capital), without spending years and millions of dollars on complex, risky IT
integration projects.
(e.g., exemption of certain vendors, management of the 60-day notice requirement and including or excluding specific
payment/debt types from offset processing).
Deloitte Proprietary Analytical and Anomaly Detection Technology
Deloittes anomaly detection tools and protocols have been successfully deployed on a variety of client engagements involving
complex data analysis requirements. These systems demonstrate Deloittes capability to design, develop, and deploy advanced
anomaly detection technology. One example of Deloitte-developed technology that focuses on data anomaly detection relative
to tax collection is:
DTect is a proprietary technology-based data analytics tool developed by Deloitte to identify anomalies and indicators
of fraud, waste and abuse in several critical enterprise business processes. One of the specialized modules of DTect,
developed in conjunction with Deloitte Tax, is its Tax Module, which is a sophisticated, , data mining process that helps
to identify tax-related anomalies in transaction taxes , tax refunds and other areas. DTect is flexible and easily
customizable, allowing it to be used to address the unique needs of Deloitte clients.
Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) Analytical and Anomaly Detection Products
Deloitte has experience implementing and integrating a variety of COTS development and advanced analytics tools for our
clients. These tools include SAS, SPSS PASW Modeler, SAS Text Miner, Pegasystems, IBM InfoSphere, Salford Systems
(CART and MARS), R, Root, and Wolfram Mathematica. We also employ a variety of software for business intelligence (e.g.,
Oracle, SAP BusinessObjects, Crystal Reports, Microsoft, Pentaho, ACL), ETL (e.g., Talend, Informatica), geo intelligence
software (e.g., GIS) and mapping (e.g., ESRI), complex record matching/master data management (e.g., Netrics), and Data
Cleansing (e.g., Melissa Data Systems, ESRI).
Summary of Qualifications
We have selected the following two references to provide a representative sample of our work in Tax Collection, Fraud
Prevention, and Detection analytics and engagements similar in nature to States present situation. These clients have agreed
to be references for the State of Minnesota, however, they have requested reference calls be coordinated through Deloitte.
Please contact Steve Dahl at stdahl@deloitte.com should you wish to coordinate contacting any of the organizations .

Project Manager, CAMS Phase II (formerly SUNTAX Project Manager)
Office: (850) 922-0367
PanebiaL@dor.state.fl.us

Project Description:
Scope:
The State of Florida, Department of Revenue (FDOR) wanted assistance in conceptualizing, designing and implementing an
Integrated Tax System (ITS) project, generally referred to as SUNTAX. The purpose of the solution was to synthesize and
harmonize a multi-dimensional business for a large State. Deloitte was asked to provide a full complement of services, including
tax knowledge, business process redesign, data analytics, implementation support, and organizational design to SUNTAX,
which is a holistic approach toward success.
Objectives of the project included:
Lowering the annual cost of operations and maintenance by reducing the number of systems in operation
The SUNTAX project initiative overall goal was to replace the States legacy tax systems with a true integrated tax system. The
FDORs definition of an ITS includes both integration of taxpayer data across multiple tax systems, and integration of the various
supporting business processing systems.
Approach/Solution:
Deloittes responsibilities on the engagement included leadership roles on each phase and aspect of the implementation. This
included project management office, change leadership, and functional and technical resources within each team.
We decided to use SAP as the primary technology platform to develop the ITS solution. By using SAP, we were able to
reengineer business processes and organizational units discarding many manual steps, discarding paperwork, and shortening
the cycle time needed to process transactions. Deloittes tax return validation team specifically designed and configured SAP to
evaluate returns, assessing more information than the FDOR had historically, automatically correcting insignificant errors thus
allowing the FDOR to focus on more critical errors or omissions. Using workflow module within SAP, we were able to develop
processes by which documents can be corrected by auditors and then automatically promoted to supervisors for approval. This
approach allows instantaneous processing and approval of complex issues, thereby reducing the time for dispute resolution. The
FDOR has been able to lower their annual cost of operations and maintenance by reducing the number of systems in operation.
The approach reduced the overall amount of manual effort required to process tax returns.
Another aspect of the solution involved the training and knowledge transfer from the Deloitte team to the FDOR staff. By doing
this we were able to position the FDOR to be capable of maintaining the new system, applying upgrades, adopting new taxes,
changing current tax administration due to legislation, and continuing to evolve the systems functionality over time, with their
own staff.
Results:
This approach has positioned FDOR as the technology leader among State government T&R administrations. Also, by using
SAP as the technology platform FDOR is able to take advantage of the investment in research and development by SAP each
year to improve its products. FDOR was able to significantly reduce the overall costs by implementing the ITS solution as it
resulted in more efficient workflow processes for review and dispute resolution, reducing the number of systems in use and their
associated cost of maintenance and also increasing the overall collections.
Some of the key results of the SUNTAX program include:
To date, over 53 tax types have been implemented and over 30 tax systems have been decommissioned

Project Description:
Scope:
The State of Maryland is owed millions of dollars in new unpaid taxes and fees most years, and these delinquent debts have a
significant adverse impact on the States annual budget. For a number of years, the State has utilized data available from its
own financial system to improve debt collection using a payment offset approach to the collection of its aged delinquent debt.
The State of Maryland was offered an opportunity in 2006 to participate as one of three (3) pilot States in the U.S. Treasurys
Federal-State Administrative Offset program. This new program managed by the Treasury Offset Program (TOP) office allows
for the reciprocal offset of Federal and State payments against State and Federal delinquent debt respectively. Participation in
the program required modifications and enhancements to the State of Marylands enterprise resource planning (ERP) system
called R*STARS. These modifications later came to be known as the States Federal Liability Offset (FLO) subsystem.
Over the years, Deloitte has provided outstanding support to the State of Maryland through the development and maintenance
of complex enhancements to the States ERP applications. Because of this track record of success, the State and the
Comptroller of Maryland entrusted Deloitte with the responsibility to design, develop and support the needed custom application
development and enhancements to support the integration of payment and debt information with the U.S. Treasury.
The Maryland Comptrollers primary goal is to improve its debt collection efforts. Project success would be measured by two
criteria, 1) how many additional dollars, over and above its current collection rate, the State could realize as a result of its
participation in the Federal-State Administrative Offset program, and 2) how many dollars the State could collect on behalf of
FMS to satisfy non-tax debts owed to the Federal government. The second criteria, was especially important because this pilot
project intended to test the efficacy of the Federal-State Administrative Offset program. If the U.S. Treasury was not satisfied
with the results achieved, there will be no obligation to let the State of Maryland continue its participation in TOP after the 24month trial period. However, if the U.S Treasury was satisfied with the outcomes, the State will be allowed to participate in TOP
indefinitely, and FMS would agree to include additional payment types in its collections thereby allowing the State to realize an
even greater financial gain from participation in the program.
Deloitte was first tasked with formalizing requirements by hosting joint application requirement sessions and conducting on-site
meetings with both State and Federal stakeholders. These meetings involved the full range of project requirements including
administrative, functional, and technical requirements. After requirements were formalized and acknowledged by the various
parties, Deloitte developed a general design for the new subsystem and integration enhancements, which was divided into two
logically and functionally separate pieces: 1) Debt Side, which involved the extraction of data on State debts, the transmittal of
this data to the U.S. Treasury, the return transmittal of collections data from the U.S. Treasury to the State, and the resulting
updates to the States accounting system; and 2) Payment Side, which involved the inverse processing steps whereby the
State receives non-tax data on debts owed to the Federal Government, does the matching and offset calculation and transmits
the successful offset data back to FMS/TOP.
Deloitte then finalized the detailed design. During the detailed design phase, the State decided that the Debt Side processing
would be handled through enhancements to the States tax system called SMART. The Payment Side processing would be
done through a new subsystem application within the State ERP system (R*STARS). Deloitte finished the detailed design, which
was accepted by the State, and then finalized through the remaining phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
Approach/Solution:
The project was organized into two phases, 1) requirements gathering, general design and detail design, and 2) development,
testing, training, user acceptance testing and implementation. Sufficient staffing was provided for each phase. A detailed
project plan for each phase was developed and submitted to the client for approval. These plans included tasks to be
performed, personnel to be assigned to each task, labor hour estimates, project deliverables to be developed, and a deliverablebased billing schedule.
Two teams, a technical team for the detailed system analysis, architecture, design, development and testing, and a functional
team for requirements, training, user acceptance testing, and system documentation, worked closely together to produce the
final product. The primary business process flows for the new Federal liability offset subsystem and integration enhancements
included (1) Capture, (2) Settlement, (3) Release, and (4) Reversal. Deloittes project management and oversight approach was
a major contributor to the success of the project. Client approval of each SDLC phase was done before proceeding to the next

The Transformation Roadmap was created over a period of five months, from September 2004 through January 2005. The
project was executed with a core team that consisted of more than 200 State of Minnesota staff and a team from Deloitte.
Hundreds of additional State staff participated in surveys and interviews, and dozens of commissioners, deputy commissioners,
assistant commissioners, and many chief information officers (CIOs) participated in the Steering Committee, an Enterprise
Workgroup, and other working groups. The project was divided into three phases:
Ready: Data gathering surveys, interviews, and idea generation to identify areas for improvement.
Set: Research into the ideas and data to identify valid opportunities for improvement. The opportunities were organized into
eight broad categories, named Business Transformation Areas, which were then developed into initial business cases by
the teams.
Go: Sequencing the business cases, identifying interdependencies, and developing governance, policy, and structural
recommendations. All of that information was then formed into the Transformation Roadmap.
Results: Operations: Roadmap to Shared Service and ultimately networked government delivery models. Improved access to
services, service quality, and positioning for the future with the States impending wave of worker retirements. Financial:
Significant and sustainable net savings. Initial estimates indicate:
$330,000,000 of cumulative savings from all of the projects (from all funds) by the end of fiscal year 2011.
$216,000,000 of enterprise investments required to gain full benefits and sustain benefits over time.
