Transforming Businesses with Tax Automation: Effective Tools and Best Practices
Keeping pace with the ever-evolving tax rules is one of the biggest pain points for tax teams. New legislation and regulatory updates continue to emerge which pose significant compliance challenges to businesses. Failure to adapt to the shifting regulatory paradigm may compromise business operations and incur legal liabilities.
This underscores the need for organizations to integrate automated sales tax compliance solutions to help them comply with the increasingly complex tax requirements. Revamping sales tax strategy is crucial in ensuring real-time product taxability, reducing pressure on tax teams, and managing tax obligations.
In this webcast, tax automation expert Michele Guindon (Sovos) and highly skilled senior tax manager Tram Le (TaxOps) will discuss the major trends surrounding sales tax compliance. Speakers will also provide helpful tools and practices to automate tax processes and ease the compliance burden.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
