Accountability and Transparency in eTIMS

The Accountability and Transparency in eTIMS course is a practical training program designed to help taxpayers, accountants, business owners, and public sector professionals understand how transparency and accountability are strengthened through Kenya’s Electronic Tax Invoice Management System (eTIMS).

eTIMS is a digital invoicing platform developed by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to improve tax compliance, enhance transparency in business transactions, and ensure accurate reporting of income and expenditure through electronic tax invoices.

This course explores how eTIMS promotes financial accountability, audit readiness, and transparent record-keeping by requiring businesses to issue verifiable digital invoices for all transactions. Participants will learn how to properly onboard, operate, and manage eTIMS systems while maintaining compliance with tax regulations and ethical financial practices.

The program also emphasizes the importance of data integrity, fraud prevention, and responsible financial reporting, equipping learners with the skills to reduce errors, prevent tax evasion, and build trust between businesses, regulators, and stakeholders.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the role of eTIMS in promoting tax transparency and compliance
• Properly generate, manage, and store electronic tax invoices
• Apply accountability principles in financial reporting and record keeping
• Identify risks of non-compliance and fraudulent reporting
• Strengthen internal controls within business operations

This course is ideal for entrepreneurs, accountants, procurement officers, finance teams, and anyone involved in business transactions or tax reporting systems.
