How SAS® Is Different
Only SAS’ analytically based modeling approach:
- Delivers analytically derived scores that pinpoint and prioritize exactly where collection efforts will be most productive.
- Uses advanced analytic scoring to prioritize collection cases for initial actions and also to rescore them as events change.
- Makes a significant impact on collected revenue dollars while providing a way to periodically screen, reassess and learn from all tax filings in collection, thereby enhancing future scoring activities.
- Is delivered by SAS developing and maintaining all elements of the solution, so you do not have to worry about the integration issues common with proprietary niche solutions.
- Is built on the SAS Business Analytics Framework and integrates with other SAS solutions, including SAS for Government Tax Audits.
Benefits
- Reduce tax avoidance and tax evasion. The difference between what taxpayers owe and what they actually pay in local, state and federal taxes represents billions of dollars of uncollected revenue that could support vital public services and help reduce budget deficits without increasing taxes and fees for citizens.
- Prioritize returns for collection. By identifying and prioritizing cases where additional taxes are due, SAS provides an efficient and effective way to prioritize the collection of unpaid taxes and choose actions that will provide the highest rate of return.
- Identify the best tactics to use. SAS provides a road map that shows which actions will be most effective for each case, such as letters, calls, field actions or transfers to a collections agency.
- Improve the overall collection process. Quickly implement the SAS solution to improve your internal revenue collections processes and produce fast results.
- Better utilize human resources. The SAS scoring methodology helps collectors to more efficiently prioritize accounts and decide on the initial action for an account, thereby greatly increasing effectiveness.
Features
- Score all accounts in collections system.
- Optimize the collections process to maximize return through SAS software’s analytically based scoring methodology.
- Initial Action scoring.
- All accounts entering the collections process receive an Initial Action (IA) score, based on supervised learning, to prioritize them for initial actions.
- Action Effect scoring.
- Each account receives Action Effect (AE) scores that predict the outcome of all possible actions that could be taken on the account and provide a road map of the best tactics for each case. The revenue department can choose the accounts and actions with the highest score or use some other prioritization scheme based on availability of resources.
- Conduct ongoing evaluation.
- Besides initial scoring, accounts are scored again as partial payments are made, payment promises are broken and additional debt is added to the account.
