Changes in requirements around E-Invoicing and E-Reporting are happening at lightning speed. Tax administrations globally increasingly use digital tools to get (real-time) insights into taxpayers and their transactions. This transformation of the tax technology landscape is affecting nearly all businesses, and especially those that are active globally. The pace at which new E-Invoicing and E-Reporting obligations are being implemented in many countries is driving the need for an appropriate tax and IT strategy. Having a proactive and centralised approach in place is recommended more than ever.
During this session, you will:
+ Get updates on the upcoming E-Invoicing and E-Reporting mandates and insights in the latest trends in global E-Invoicing and VAT compliance requirements
+ Discuss how to develop your future-proof global e-requirements strategy and what are the building blocks for success

In this presentation you will learn more about services offered by LATAM tax administrations to taxpayers, other government agencies and for the society in general using information from E-Invoicing. Businesses, citizens and public administrations receive additional benefits from the sharing of E-Invoicing data, and with this for example governments are able to better control their expenditures, reduce toll fares for unloaded trucks, and citizens will find better times - with less consumers - to go to a particular shop or gas station.

Starting from an overview on Hyperautomation and its value in AP processes, the speech illustrates - through a real case – the potential of self-learning algorithms, based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI),  in the automatic reconciliation process of AP documents, such as electronic invoices received from suppliers and PODs. The innovation brought by these technologies allows to enhance efficiency in the overall process, enabling a significant cost and error reduction.

The Global Interoperability Framework (GIF) is a set of recommended practices and standards for the operation of any ‘four-corner’ interoperability network organised within a participative governance framework. Such a network allows its dedicated access points, typically service providers, to easily interconnect their customers for the exchange of digital supply chain-related transactions.

As a state-of-the-art reference model, the GIF reflects well-accepted technologies and building blocks and seeks maximum alignment of interoperability frameworks operating in different settings. Following its deployment in the pioneering Peppol network, which has expanded from Europe into other markets in Asia-Pacific, other implementations are taking place in the European service provider community (EESPA) and in the USA within the Business Payments Coalition.

The GIF enables smoother implementation of end-user business connections and will be able to contribute to the rapidly evolving tax-reporting (CTC) environment in many countries. The GIF Working Group promotes and shares best practice seeking to constantly evolve the framework towards the objective of seamless interoperability between compliant networks.

This session brings together a panel of thought leaders to discuss how to build on the various successful regional and national initiatives and models for interoperability to create a truly global approach.
+ Managing diversity and commonality - where are the pressure points?
+ What is working consistently and why?
+ How to reconcile different business, fiscal and legal models?
+ Building consensus and an alliance of stakeholders
