Monrovia, Liberia –The Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) has launched a new digital Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform aimed at reducing bureaucracy, strengthening accountability, and modernizing financial and administrative operations across the institution, a press release from LRA said on Sunday, May 17, 2026.
The automated system, developed by the LRA’s in-house information technology professionals, forms part of the Authority’s broader digital transformation and institutional reform agenda designed to improve operational efficiency, transparency, and service delivery.
ERP systems are integrated digital platforms used by organizations to manage procurement, finance, inventory, approvals, financial reporting, and administrative operations in real time.
At the LRA, the platform is expected to streamline procurement transactions, vendor billing and payments, approval processes, reporting, and data management while significantly reducing paperwork and administrative bottlenecks. The system is also intended to improve coordination among departments, accelerate workflow processes, strengthen internal controls, and establish real-time monitoring and digital audit trails for transactions and approvals.
The rollout forms part of a broader modernization agenda championed by Commissioner General James Dorbor Jallah, who continues to promote technology-driven reforms aimed at strengthening governance systems, improving resource management, and enhancing institutional performance across the Authority.
The ERP initiative began in July 2025 and underwent several phases of development, testing, review, and validation before its official deployment to ensure operational reliability and user readiness.
Speaking during the official activation of the platform, Deputy Commissioner General for Administrative Affairs Samuel G. Bennett, Jr. described the system as a major milestone in the LRA’s institutional transformation efforts.
According to him, the digital platform will significantly improve transaction processing, strengthen documentation and reporting systems, and reduce delays associated with manual administrative procedures.
“This system has made our work much easier. I can now review and approve transactions from anywhere, which greatly improves the speed and effectiveness of our operations,” Bennett stated.
He added that the ERP solution reflects the Authority’s growing commitment to leveraging innovation and technology to improve public sector administration, transparency, and operational accountability.
Also speaking, Rufus Mahn, Commissioner for Internal Audit Department praised the initiative and emphasized its importance in strengthening financial integrity, transparency, and internal oversight mechanisms within the institution.
He encouraged operators of the platform to fully embrace the system and maximize its capabilities in support of the LRA’s mandate of effective revenue administration and institutional excellence.
Providing an overview of the project, Thomas B. Jallah, Focal Person of the Ministry of State Performance Management System (PMSC), said the transition to digital operations is expected to improve administrative effectiveness while enhancing monitoring, coordination, and accountability in resource management.
He disclosed that the ERP platform will operate alongside existing manual processes for a transitional period of at least three months before the institution fully migrates to the automated system.
The launch of the ERP platform represents one of the LRA’s most significant internal digital reforms in recent years and reflects growing efforts within Liberia’s public sector to adopt technology-driven governance systems that promote efficiency, transparency, and institutional accountability.
