The modern day tax function has been under increased pressure over the years due to an increased compliance burden, often on a limited budget. Join us as we explore the impact of technology on today's tax function, what in-house tax professionals expect from their external advisors, and a honest look at how solution providers could improve existing products on the market. 

Internal and external stakeholders are increasingly becoming interested in tax affairs, meaning tax is no longer just a tax issue, it's a business issue. This session will look at best practice when managing tax affairs in the boardroom, corporate reputation management in wake of a business's tax affairs being under consistent public scrutiny, and managing relationships with tax authorities.
