Title: Implementing a shared inspection management system : insights from recent international experience
Abstract: Businesses, non-governmental organizations, and health care providers in developing countries often face an array of inspections from various government agencies. Leading reformers have turned to shared technology solutions to better coordinate the timing, scope, and targeting of inspections. A recent study conducted by the World Bank Group examined the experiences of 12 jurisdictions with inspection management ICT solutions shared across multiple inspectorates. The study results confirm that the use of a shared inspection management system (SIMS) can help facilitate reform efforts and expedite their expected benefits. The results of this study highlight the most important business, technical, and institutional considerations when planning, designing, and implementing a SIMS. The jurisdictions highlighted throughout this note are among the leaders in inspections reform and represent a commitment to ongoing innovation as it relates to inspection practices. Based on the information summarized throughout this note, it is clear that a SIMS, together with adequate supporting business and technical infrastructure, is an emerging best practice in government efforts to reduce the compliance burden on business.
