      Globalisation, increasing regulatory requirements and technological innovations are fundamentally changing the role of tax departments. Tax authorities are driving the digitalisation of tax processes and reporting formats and expect tax processes that are audit-proof, standardised and transparently documented.

      As a result, data quality, traceability and a robust tax control environment are becoming increasingly important.

      Digital tax processes and data integration: new demands on the tax function

      Companies face the challenge of consolidating tax-relevant data from various systems, processing it consistently, and making it available to different stakeholders in a timely, detailed and compliant manner. Furthermore, management’s expectations are growing: the tax function is expected to be more closely integrated into operational processes and risk management, and to make a measurable contribution to value creation.

      Tax Transformation addresses these requirements and combines organisational, process-related and technological issues into an integrated approach. Furthermore, internal reservations must be overcome: change is generally arduous and often meets with resistance from staff.

      Caught between increasing regulation and business agility, the Head of Tax is required to identify trends at an early stage, anticipate tax risks, and help develop and drive forward innovative solutions to complex challenges across a wide range of business areas. Technology is playing an increasingly important role in this regard. Global tax governance is no longer conceivable without technology.
