OECD hires new transparency and information exchange leader

From April 1, Monica Bhatia will take on the role of head of the secretariat of the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes within the OECD’s Centre for Tax Policy and Administration (CTPA).

The CTPA’s Global Forum is responsible for progressing the OECD’s work on transparency and exchange of information. In her new role, Bhatia will oversee the extension of the forum, as well as implementation of the peer review schedule.

Bhatia has more than 20 years of experience in the Indian Ministry of Finance and moves to the OECD from the Indian Government’s Department of Personnel and Training. Up to 2011, she headed up the international tax unit at the Indian income tax department.
