Tax Assurance and Risk Management

Tax Assurance and Risk Management

Is tax increasingly on your Board’s agenda? Are you under pressure to demonstrate a clear vision for your tax operations and managing tax risk? Stakeholders may also be demanding that you demonstrate assurance over your tax activities and efficiencies in terms of how tax operates across your business.

You are almost certainly affected by tax risks created by increasingly complex tax compliance and regulatory requirements, increased focus by tax authorities as well as pressures from the wider business and a fast moving commercial environment.

We believe effective tax risk management does not need to be complex. You have to manage a number of interconnected moving parts in your tax risk management and governance; legal requirements, your relationship with HMRC, best practice and the demands of your stakeholders.

Nonetheless, a straightforward and holistic approach can demonstrably improve the effective identification, assessment and management of tax risk. Developing a strong tax control framework with good governance and risk management will create an environment of ‘no surprises’ in relation to how tax risk and compliance is managed globally. 

You can reap the benefits of our straightforward and effective approach.
