SAP system alignment provides a foundation for solid VAT compliance
Since the recent introduction of the new legal framework, we realize those responsible for ensuring VAT compliance within the organization have been placed under increasing pressure. This strain is compounded by the ongoing struggle to collaborate and communicate effectively to those responsible for modifications to the financial system.
This one day Masterclass is designed to help organizations address these challenges by inviting international VAT experts to meet their SAP counterparts! Delegates from both sides of the business will be educated on how to evaluate and modify their financial processes with the aim of achieving full VAT compliance, in a complex business and legal environment. By focusing on the financial ERP system as the foundation, we present a best-practice approach for improved efficiency, control, compliance and risk mitigation, as demanded by tax administrations.
Through informative keynotes, in-depth presentations and workshops delivered by VAT and SAP experts from multinational companies, you’ll get the tools and insights you need to identify common VAT challenges and areas of risk, while learning new approaches to achieve improved and transparent VAT compliance across your business.
This one day Masterclass will enable you to:
- Break down internal communication barriers and introduce elegant synchronicity between VAT and SAP
- Understand key challenges that multinationals running SAP are facing and how they are overcoming them
- Fully appreciate the wider impact of the VAT Package on business
- Navigate complex VAT structures and complex supply chains in SAP
- Understand scenarios where ‘out of the box’ SAP functionality results in incorrect VAT decisions
