In a more and more complex tax regulatory environment, procedures, processes and IT systems are superseding each other, sometimes lacking an overarching tax governance architecture: this raises the probability of failing to identify or report some tax risks as required. Simultaneously, the more stringent regulatory requirements contribute to client and investor frustrations due to delays in the processing of their requests, particularly in case of client on-boarding.
