How Rienk is building a better working world
The pace of change in tax legislation, and the accelerated use of technology (such as AI, blockchain and RPA) by governments as they automate their compliance and filing processes, is disrupting the traditional tax function. Therefore, it is important to create a cost-effective and efficient tax function as many businesses will face a growing data burden.
