The drive to be agile

Both business and tax environments are going through extraordinary levels of change. From the digital economy to digital tax administrations, the impacts on tax functions are seen in increased requirements on reporting, transparency, business partnering and talent. The quantum and pace of change requires tax functions to be more agile — with technologies such as SAP S/4HANA a central component of their strategic response.
