The tax function is under constant pressure to deliver more with less. Internal cost pressures and the demand for greater business insights against the backdrop of meeting increasing tax compliance demands in shorter time frames is resulting in the need for tax functions to chart a course of continuous improvement making the most of the latest technology developments.

With the focus global tax authorities are placing on clients to manage tax risk it’s essential to deliver efficiencies while ensuring the overall control environment is effective.
