Abstract: A data processing system generates a scorecard analysis that displays multiple scorecard windows, each directed to a specific different perspective on a particular business function. Each perspective may have at least one corresponding objective, and each objective may have at least one corresponding key performance indicator. Each scorecard may include drill down capability from a top level analysis to more detailed information on a perspective, objective, or key performance indicator.

Abstract: A data processing system provides a tax scorecard that displays one or more scorecard windows dedicated to a specific tax perspective. Each tax perspective may have at least one corresponding tax objective, and each tax objective may have at least one corresponding tax key performance indicator. The tax perspectives may be directed toward gathering, monitoring, and analyzing tax data, financial data, and employee opinion data and monitoring business processes. Each scorecard may include drill down capability from a top level analysis to more detailed information related to a tax perspective, objective, or key performance indicator. The key performance indicators may be directed toward monitoring effective tax rates, tax budgets, income before taxes, rating agency liquidity ratios, active or completed business processes, documents contributed or accessed, cross-functional collaboration, allocation of time, communication, performance feedback, professional growth, or other data.
