Tax governance: Empowering businesses and boards with effective governance

Overview

Inland Revenue has emphasised the importance of robust governance frameworks to help manage tax risks. Its recent campaigns have focussed on whether organisations have fit-for-purpose tax governance policies and tax controls, the testing of those policies and controls for their effectiveness, and extent of Board reporting on tax matters. This topic is particularly relevant for directors, given boards will have primary responsibility for ensuring there is effective oversight and management of tax risks.

Join John Nash, Strategic Advisor (International) – Inland Revenue, and Darshana Elwela, Partner – KPMG Tax Advisory, to understand the next phase of Inland Revenue’s tax governance campaign and what business (and boards) should be thinking about.

Lunch will be provided.
