Why Attend
The role of the tax professional is changing fundamentally. Digital tax mandates driven by tax authorities, combined with data-centric compliance models and the rapid adoption of Gen-AI, are placing new demands on tax teams that go far beyond traditional tax knowledge.
Relying solely on legal interpretation and past experience is no longer sufficient in an environment where tax workflows intersect with ERP systems, data governance, AI tools, risk management, and real-time reporting obligations. Tax professionals are increasingly expected to act as translators between tax, technology, and the business; while maintaining control, accuracy, and accountability.
This webinar addresses a critical question facing the profession: what skills do tax professionals need to remain relevant and effective in a digital-first tax environment?
Rather than focusing on tools in isolation, the session explores how people, processes, and technology must evolve together.
By attending, participants will gain clarity on how to:
Navigate increasing digital and data-driven tax mandates
Adapt their role from technical specialist to transformation contributor
Use technology and automation to create strategic capacity
Reduce risk by improving visibility, data quality, and collaboration
The session is designed to help tax professionals prepare for the realities of 2025 and beyond, where digital fluency is no longer optional, but foundational.
