  • Moderator, Panelists and Speakers

The quick spread and adoption of technology is transforming businesses and functional processes across industries and the tax function is no exception to this enormous change. In addition to tech transformation, tax functions are also transitioning in their roles; from back-end compliance teams to more strategic components of enterprise transformation. The power of digital in taxation is increasing now more than ever, bringing greater efficiency and providing competitive advantage for businesses, as they strive to sustain and regain lost ground from the impact of the pandemic.

Focused on the premise of bringing efficiency, automation, digitisation and smart analytics for informed decision-making to the tax function, BDO in India along with Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) are pleased to invite you to a LIVE web discussion on ‘Tax in the New Normal – A digital progression’.

The webinar is themed around how technology is transforming the tax function, making it future ready. Our speakers, at the start of the webinar would be discussing key ideas underscoring the evolution of the tax function, and how technology is driving it to make the ecosystem complete and insights from industry experts on the tax-tech transformation journey of global organisations.
