A data processing system provides a tax scorecard that displays one or
more scorecard windows dedicated to a specific tax perspective. Each tax
perspective may have at least one corresponding tax objective, and each
tax objective may have at least one corresponding tax key performance
indicator. The tax perspectives may be directed toward gathering,
monitoring, and analyzing tax data, financial data, and employee opinion
data and monitoring business processes. Each scorecard may include drill
down capability from a top level analysis to more detailed information
related to a tax perspective, objective, or key performance indicator.
The key performance indicators may be directed toward monitoring
effective tax rates, tax budgets, income before taxes, rating agency
liquidity ratios, active or completed business processes, documents
contributed or accessed, cross-functional collaboration, allocation of
time, communication, performance feedback, professional growth, or other
data.
