Financial Leaders luncheon | Trusted Tax Transformation

Overview

In an environment of increasing regulatory complexity, evolving tax reform, and greater scrutiny from the ATO, finance leaders are under growing pressure to deliver transparency, accuracy, and strategic insight across both direct and indirect tax functions. This closed-door discussion brings together senior finance executives to explore how technology, from advanced data analytics and automation to the strategic use of AI, is redefining tax compliance and risk management. Together, we’ll unpack what it takes to not only meet obligations, but to earn justified trust through intelligent, integrated, and future-ready tax operations.

Discussion Points:

From Compliance to Confidence: How are leading organisations using automation and analytics to ensure accuracy and transparency across tax functions - and demonstrate justified trust to the ATO?

Bridging Direct and Indirect Tax Silos: What are the practical steps for unifying systems, data, and reporting across income tax and indirect tax compliance - and why does it matter?

The Rise of the Tax Technologist: What new roles, skills, and mindsets are emerging as tax teams increasingly rely on technology to manage risk and add strategic value?

Future-Proofing the Tax Function: How can AI, cloud platforms, and real-time data visibility transform tax into a driver of operational efficiency and business agility?
