24-11-2021

Report no. 5/2021

The purpose of the study is to assess whether the Ministry of Taxation’s management of delivery of a new property assessment system is satisfactory. The report answers the following questions: 

  • Has the Ministry of Taxation’s financial management of the project been satisfactory?
  • Has the Ministry of Taxation managed risk in a satisfactory manner?
  • Has the Ministry of Taxation included essential information about the economy of the project in the documents concerning the new property assessment system?  

It is Rigsrevisionen’s assessment that the Ministry of Taxation’s management of the delivery of a new property assessment system is worthy of criticism. The ministry has no overview of the economy, progress, timescale and risks to the project. The consequence is great uncertainty about the future economy as well as the timeframe of the project. 

Rigsrevisionen initiated the study in October 2020 at the request of the Danish Public Accounts Committee.
