   The second Corporate Plan of the MRA for the period 2011 to 2013 was launched by the Hon Pravind Kumar Jugnauth, Vice Prime Minister & Minister of Finance & Economic Development on 19 January 2011 at La Cannelle, Domaines Des Pailles in the presence of the Chairperson, members of MRA Board, Director-General and the Management Team and senior staff of the MRA. The Corporate Plan serves as an organisation’s strategic framework for action during a stipulated period of time in the future and acts as a roadmap towards the fulfilment of the organisation’s strategic objectives.

    

   The five key strategic objectives that have been envisaged for the MRA for the Corporate Plan period are as follows:

   • Promoting Voluntary Compliance
   • Providing Quality services
   • Developing people, processes & technology
   • Facilitating trade and ensuring border & society protection
   • Strengthening good governance & corporate image

    

   For each of these strategic objectives, the Corporate Plan lays down a number of strategic initiatives which will be measurable in terms of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). MRA will continue to use these Key Performance Indicators together with set targets to monitor success in achieving the strategic objectives.
