Program Management

With financial restatements related to tax accounting issues increasing substantially, CFO’s and tax executives need to understand the regulatory hot buttons related to tax process breakdowns, including, but not limited to, data and work process flow, increased disclosure requirements, internal controls and documentation standards. This incursion of new requirements has created a need for tax departments to proactively and effectively manage projects around these changes, including developing tools and processes to provide transparency to previously unmonitored global compliance and reporting activity.
