How can Deloitte help?

Deloitte has been at the forefront of key trends such as:

• King IV Report – The Board takes ownership of a transparent tax policy
• JSE’s new listing requirements – The chief financial officer and chief executive officer take responsibility for internal financial reporting controls (including tax financial controls).

Our service offering includes

• Optimising tax strategy and tax policy in accordance with King IV Report
• Defining a practical tax risk control framework
• Review of tax operating models including the RACI model (including Roles, Accountability, Consulting and Informed)
• Tax processes- defining standardised tax process maps across the key taxes
• Assess the adequacy and design of the controls against the current and potential tax risks
• Assessing and guiding the best fit for tax technology solutions.

Our methodology

Defining a best fit roadmap by:

• performing a ‘current state assessment’ of the tax governance adopted across the tax function looking at tax strategy, tax policy, tax operating model, tax function (people, process, data and technology)
• identifying potential gaps and weaknesses
• providing recommendations through a defined timeline roadmap.
