Combined Assurance Review: Governance Framework & Technology
Expert Talk Video with Nuwaru
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) are now conducting a significant number of Combined Assurance Reviews (CAR) post-COVID. For companies that are still heavily reliant on spreadsheets and manual processes, this review would require a significant amount of time and people resources to ensure they are accurately collecting, consolidating, aggregating, and reporting this data to the ATO. Having the right governance framework and technology can help your organisation complete your CAR smoothly, without the risk of further audits or fines.
Thomson Reuters team spoke with Sam Lo Ricco, Corporate Tax & Virtual Tax Director, and Tony Katsigarakis, Partner, Technology & Advisory, from Nuwaru to understand the key steps organisations must undertake to prepare for a Combined Assurance Review. Watch and listen as the Nuwaru team discusses having the right governance framework, & how the right technology can reduce the burden on the tax function, ensure the teams are fully compliant, and help streamline the CAR preparation process.
