Business As (Un)usual: Operating With Agility
11 June 2020

We have all changed our ways of working due to COVID-19. Tax teams have faced specific challenges – from identifying and applying for government support measures to advising on the implications of supply chain disruption – in addition to the increasingly complex day job of meeting compliance and other obligations. Many teams are trying to operate ‘business as usual’, against a highly unusual backdrop of reduced and widely dispersed resources. What should your organisation be thinking about?

We discuss:

• How tax teams are adapting to manage demands.
• Governance models, resourcing options and the technology supporting tax processes.
• How the current ‘business as unusual’ environment is driving creativity and innovation that will have lasting benefits.
