New Report Provides 2012 Outlook on the Adoption of Tax Technology in North America and its Impact on Tax Departments
Improved ability to forecast, streamlined processes and better data quality cited as key benefits by Senior Tax Executives
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 07/17/12 -- Longview Solutions today announced that Financial Executives Research Foundation (FERF), the research affiliate of Financial Executives International (FEI), has released a new research paper that analyzes how tax departments have evolved in their adoption of tax technology. Entitled "The State of Tax Technology Adoption - 2012 Outlook," the report presents findings from interviews conducted with senior tax executives of public and private companies across multiple industries in the U.S., and explores the benefits of tax reporting automation, as well as the factors driving and/or hindering adoption. FERF conducted the research in partnership with Longview Solutions.
Key research findings include:
This report is consistent with FERF's 2009 report entitled "Trends in Income Tax Reporting Automation," which analyzed the factors that drive and/or hinder the implementation of tax technology in public and private companies. Both reports cite increased process visibility and control, transaction volume, as well as reduced tax cycle time as factors that drive the decision to purchase tax technology.
"In a challenging regulatory and economic climate, companies are increasingly trying to maximize efficiencies and do more with less, and tax technology adoption is becoming a more common practice among financial executives," said Marie Hollein, President and CEO, Financial Executives International and FERF. "This is a particular topic of concern among FEI's members, and we are pleased to partner with Longview Solutions to update this important piece of research. The report demonstrates the ways in which tax reporting automation has continued to progress over the past several years, offering better data quality and improved risk management strategies, and stronger relationships among IT and Finance teams."
"The need to streamline tax processes is essential to ease the demands placed on tax departments," said Chris Carlstead, President of Tax for Longview Solutions. "This report provides solid and compelling information that the adoption of tax technology provides benefits to, not only, the tax function, but IT departments and the broader office of the CFO. It is clear that tax technology such as Longview Tax can drastically reduce inefficiencies and improve the management of global tax accounting processes."
