The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) is increasing its reliance on data analytics in tax administration to boost revenue growth, enhance compliance, and support evidence-based decision-making. The Technical Advisor to the Commissioner-General of the GRA, Mrs. Elsie Appau-Klu, emphasized the importance of modern statistical tools in the digital economy, stating that the country's revenue administration system needs to evolve to keep pace with rapid economic changes.
During the opening of the 2026 GRA Statistics and Data Analysts' Seminar in Ho, Mrs. Appau-Klu highlighted that while traditional tax administration tools remain essential, they are no longer sufficient on their own, especially with the rise of digital transactions, mobile money, e-commerce, and artificial intelligence. The seminar, running from August 18 to 22 at the Volta Serene Hotel, aims to explore how modern statisticians and data analysts can drive revenue growth through data analytics.
