Q2:
A company supplies a Tax Returns Automation process to its clients, visiting their sites and
inspecting their revenues for a given year, giving advice and completing the necessary forms
for Tax Returns purposes. Once the forms have been completed, they are saved as paper
copies; one is kept by the client, the other is filed locally within the company’s paper-based
archives. The corresponding electronic copies are also saved in a word-processor format and
saved on a local computer.
The company is seeking to develop a more fully automated process: the tax consultant
visiting the client's premises periodically would log-in to an on-line application (within the
company website) and input the data to an on-line form. The data collected would be used
to keep the clients informed of the results of the consultant’s visits and the date of the next
visit.
Considering the above scenario:
a) List and describe at least THREE possible risks that the company will be likely to face
when the new more fully automated system has been implemented.
b) Analytically select and apply technique for estimating the effort and the costs
associated with the project of building the more fully automated on-line system.
