The Global Performance Audit (GPA) Unit, the division at The KPI Institute (TKI) that specializes in strategy and performance management audits, has propelled Saudi Arabia’s Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) to new heights through a comprehensive performance management system maturity assessment. The review highlights ZATCA’s capabilities in terms of strategic planning, performance measurement, performance improvement, performance culture, and employee performance management.

The Integrated Performance Maturity Model Framework applied by the GPA Unit involves a thorough approach, incorporating more than 300 assessment items aligned with industry best practices. This rigorous methodology includes assessments based on evidence, perception, and interviews, resulting in a detailed examination of ZATCA’s performance management capabilities.

As per the evaluation undertaken, ZATCA demonstrated advanced strategy and performance management practices, reaching the maturity level “IV – Integrated,” out of a five-level scale. The result obtained, positions the organization among the top governmental entities assessed by the GPA Unit in the past years, with sophisticated strategy planning, corporate reporting, and performance improvement practices.

ZATCA’s achievement underscores TKI’s staunch commitment to empowering professionals and organizations in their pursuit of globally competitive performance management systems and practices.
