      ECOPA contributed four chapters to this World Bank book on risk-based tax audits. <br />   <br />  "Risk-Based Tax Audits brings together first-hand country experiences of how various tax administrations have undertaken reforms to implement risk-based audit systems. It evaluates their success while examining the fundamental principles of risk-based audits, the behavioral aspects of tax compliance, and the institutional challenges they present. Drawing from contributions by tax administrators and international experts, the book also serves as a resource for analytical techniques used in risk-based audit strategies." <br />   <br />  See World Bank website: <a class="link" href="http://www-wds.worldbank.org/servlet/main?menuPK=64187510&amp;pagePK=64193027&amp;piPK=64187937&amp;theSitePK=523679&amp;entityID=000386194_20110620015358" title="http://www-wds.worldbank.org/servlet/main?menuPK=64187510&amp;pagePK=64193027&amp;piPK=64187937&amp;theSitePK=523679&amp;entityID=000386194_20110620015358">"Risk-Based Tax Audits"</a> <br />   <br />
