Special Project - Revenue Reporting
Start Date: 11/10/25
Why the Office of the City Auditor (OCA) did this project
The Treasury Department asked the Office of the City Auditor’s (OCA) to assist with evaluating feasibility of converting its current sales tax reporting platform to another platform also used within the City of Tulsa. Treasury’s current software poses a sustainability risk because of the unique coding required to make formatting or other changes as needed.
Project Scope
Evaluate best method for future sales tax reporting and generate comprehensive reports to support Treasury’s ability to monitor and report on sales and use tax matters accurately and efficiently with its new platform. Sales and use tax reporting is from 2024 to current.
