Financial Brigades

Investigating and enforcing fiscal compliance

Specialized units responsible for investigating, auditing, and monitoring tax compliance within designated zones.

What We Do

Specialized teams ensuring fiscal compliance through investigations

The Financial Brigades are specialized operational units responsible for monitoring taxpayer compliance, detecting fraud, and conducting field-based investigations. They carry out inspections, forensic audits, and verification missions across the province, targeting high-risk zones and sectors. These brigades work in coordination with the Inspection Division to enforce tax laws and expose irregularities that weaken fiscal stability.

Each brigade documents findings, conducts follow-ups, and proposes penalties or corrective measures based on legal procedures. They play a central role in uncovering hidden income, auditing declarations, and investigating suspected tax evasion cases. Their work supports accurate revenue reporting and ensures accountability at every operational layer of the Directorate through direct action and legal escalation when needed.
