The Preventative Risking (PR) team within RIS is responsible for managing the risking and compliance referral processes for Self-Assessment (SA) registrations. Currently, the system identifies approximately 200,000 fraudulent registrations out of 1 million, resulting in an estimated £51 million to £219 million in lost SA repayment claims . To address this, a proof of concept (POC) was developed using: SAS Enterprise Guide for table creation, SAS Studio V and SAS RTENG to build the SA registration network, SAS Viya 3.5 tools for risk assessment of new SA registrations. The POC leveraged data from 20 different sources, most of which were already housed in the Minerva Oracle database. Previously, some data had to be transferred manually. However, the automated file transfers described in this Solution Design Document (SDD) will now move that data to the SAS platform using approved Enterprise Architecture (EA) integration patterns, with the initial phase, targeted for delivery in April 2026. This role will form part of the release management team within Minerva Platform to increase the existing capacity to support the additional project work.
