    Amanda manages provincial and state-level activities like registering businesses, auditing self-reported taxes and licensing professionals.

    Government Registries - Businesses appreciate the speed and convenience of online registries; governments appreciate the labour savings they provide. AMANDA lets governments deliver web portals so businesses can register themselves, submit license applications and keep their information up to date. Instantly notify and authenticate licenses/registrations with multiple agencies by integrating the system with other government databases. Ownership structure, names of shareholders, type and number of shares held are recorded and automatically cross-checked with data in AMANDA. Official documents and photo IDs may also be attached to the business record. If a consumer complaint is made against a business, AMANDA monitors its investigation and its impact on the licensee. Mobile PAL software helps auditors check on a business and update their license status, all on their laptop/tablet, PDA or Smartphone.

    Agencies that maintain vehicle registries also use AMANDA for managing inspections and issuing vehicle safety certificates. With Mobile PAL software, field staff can lookup a tractor trailer or ambulance’s last roadside inspection and safety test, also any violations they have had. Vehicle inspectors can share their field results instantly by synchronizing with the central registry.

    Self-reported Business Taxes - AMANDA automates self-reported taxes reliably and effectively, including updating rates, recording payment and tracking audits. Our solution goes beyond this by enabling appeals and account adjustments, with full audit and reporting capabilities.

    Licensing Individuals - AMANDA has many benefits for state and provincial professional licensing bodies:

    · The software lets professionals apply for and renew their licenses in-person or online. Renewal reminder notices are automatically generated. Where an   individual has several licenses, it produces a single renewal notice that incorporates all their licenses.
    · Occupational credentials and accreditation records are scanned and stored with an individual’s record along with any complaints lodged against them.
    · AMANDA tracks professional development courses and grades obtained on board exams to ensure ongoing certification requirements are being met.
    · Restricting how many times sensitive documents can be printed and by whom mitigates the risk of fraud. License form serial numbers may also be stored.
    · The system tracks all changes for audit purposes, including the person that issued license and the mode of payment used by the licensee.
