Trade and tariffs update – US IEEPA Tariffs Overturned and the EU–India Trade Deal

Join our next podcast to talk about how AI is changing the tax function—both the big picture and the day‑to‑day. We’ll dive into the people, process, and technology angles: what AI means for headcount and how roles will shift toward higher‑value work; the skills tax professionals will need in an AI world, from smart prompting to data literacy and judgment; and how to lead change with a clear plan, training, and communication. We’ll discuss the need for a simple governance framework and well‑defined workflows—who does what, how AI outputs are reviewed, and how we protect sensitive data. On tech, we’ll unpack the buy‑versus‑build decision: when off‑the‑shelf tools deliver quick wins and when a tailored solution is worth it. And we’ll get concrete, from general solutions such as CoPilot and ChatGPT that draft and summarize to tax‑specific AI solutions tuned to rulings and internal guidance, plus solutions that cite sources so you can trust the results. Expect practical use cases, common pitfalls, and a clear path to start small and scale responsibly.
