Bangladesh's National Board of Revenue · 2010-2012

Electronic Judicial Referencing System for Income Tax Case Laws

Launched in October 2010 with UK DFID funding, the five-year TACTS project aimed to strengthen Bangladesh's National Board of Revenue by boosting revenue mobilization, expanding the tax base, and improving transparency. A key output of this initiative was an electronic judicial referencing system designed to streamline access to case law under the Income Tax Ordinance, 1984. By modernizing access to tax-related legal precedents, the system supported more informed, consistent, and efficient decision-making across the tax administration.

Kind words

What colleagues and clients say

I had the pleasure of working with S M Saidur at Duncan Brothers Limited. He is a highly capable and dedicated IT professional, and someone I genuinely enjoyed working with. Saidur played an important role in helping me design the ERP solution for Duncan from scratch. We worked together to map the existing manual processes and identify opportunities for automation, particularly for garden management. This work helped lay the foundation for the eventual ERP rollout across Duncan's gardens. What I appreciated most about Saidur was his commitment and persistence. He is hardworking, honest, dependable, and always willing to help find a practical solution to a problem. His technical capability, combined with his positive and helpful attitude, made him an excellent colleague and a great person to work with. I would be happy to recommend Saidur to any organization looking for a committed, capable, and trustworthy IT professional.

I have worked under Saidur Rahman’s leadership as ERP Manager at Duncan Brothers (Bangladesh) Limited, and I can say he is a strategic and dependable IT leader. Saidur led the company’s enterprise ERP journey, including the Sage 300 implementation and the Tea ERP rollout across our estates. He understood both the technology and the business. He worked closely with management and every department to map processes, set priorities, and make sure each system solved a real operational problem. He built strong governance into everything we delivered: clear controls, documentation, and data integrity. That discipline helped the organization go through multiple audit cycles without major findings. As a manager, Saidur gave his team clear direction, trusted us with ownership, and was always available when we faced difficult problems. He is calm under pressure, honest, and committed to doing things properly. I strongly recommend Saidur for senior IT leadership roles such as Head of IT or IT Director. Any organization would benefit from his leadership.

His ability to navigate complex technical requirements while maintaining strong architectural integrity consistently elevated our project outcomes. His technical skills, professionalism, and eagerness to learn make him a valuable asset to any team, and I highly recommend Saidur to any organization seeking a top-tier engineer.

Why Access Reviews Matter More Than People Think?

Many organisations invest heavily in advanced cybersecurity tools, yet they frequently overlook one of the simplest security controls: regular access reviews. Over time, as employees shift roles and external contractors conclude their work, unmonitored privileges accumulate, leaving dormant or excessive permissions open. Technology and identity management systems alone cannot mitigate this risk; proactive governance is essential to constantly evaluate not just who holds access, but whether that access remains appropriate.

The business case matters more than the technology

Technology leadership is not about buying the best tools—it is about making the best decisions for the business. An impressive solution can still be a poor investment if it lacks a clear purpose, a realistic implementation plan, and measurable outcomes. Whether adopting a simple tool or an advanced platform, IT investments must be driven strictly by business needs, organizational readiness, and value delivery—not product popularity.

An Audit-Ready Organization Is Built Every Day, Not One Week Before the Audit

Effective IT governance is woven into the fabric of daily operations rather than assembled in a frantic scramble right before an audit. True control environments are built through consistent practices—such as regular user access reviews, meticulous approval documentation, reliable backup procedures, and clear risk ownership—transforming governance from a compliance checklist into an engine for operational resilience.
