As Director Compliance, I oversee investigators, analysts and support staff who conduct audits and investigations to detect and report on tax avoidance and evasion for RevenueWA. It is an exciting role in a dynamic and challenging environment. It also involves working with my counterparts in other government agencies across Australia.

I have been lucky enough to be given the opportunity to act in this role until it is filled on a permanent basis sometime in the next few months. Fortunately, I have had the benefit of some very good coaching from my predecessor and lots of support from the staff here. Looking forward to 2019.

After a good break over January, I have returned to my position in State Revenue’s Compliance Division where I will be working on extending our business intelligence capabilities.

I am taking a short break from my role in Intelligence and Investigation Support. I am currently overseeing one of the divisions within the Office of State Revenue responsible for the collection of payroll tax, transfer and other duties. It is a great experience for me having worked in this division as an assessor many, many years ago. I'm happy to say things have changed (for the better).

After more than 25 years in systems development and project management, I am moving into investigations and audits. Along with the usual responsibilities for this position, I will be developing a greater business intelligence capability for State Revenue that extends beyond compliance to cover all Revenue business services.

Just completed a major systems upgrade for the Office of State Revenue. Work commenced in 2008 and involved a team of around 50. Now taking some time off before starting something else.
