• Data-quality – Improved accuracy and confidence in figures using automatic anomaly detection and data error correction, reducing the likelihood of unwelcome surprises and shortening preparation and review times
• Digital audit trails - Tracking back of calculations to source data using automated, timestamped audit trails that prove MTD digital links compliance
• Real-time visibility – Corroborate returns and project future liabilities with analytics. Tax data can also help validate commercial decisions.
• Automating VAT calculations – Automate complex calculations such as group consolidation and partial exemption to increase accuracy and lower the risk of error associated with spreadsheets and manual processes.
• Futureproofing – Prepare for changes in regulatory compliance and the ongoing expansion of HMRC's digital agenda
