SUMMARY:How Global Regulatory Shifts and AI are Reshaping Tax and Compliance
DESCRIPTION:In an environment defined by speed and uncertainty\, the role of compliance is changing. Trade policy shifts\, inflation pressure\, and regulatory expansion are forcing faster decisions with less margin for error. The traditional model assumed time to reconcile\, review\, correct\, and report. That model is being replaced by one where tax must be calculated and validated in real time as transactions occur. But how do systems and processes keep pace? \n\n\n\nJoin the Avalara team as they deep dive into how AI is becoming the enabling layer\, allowing organizations to embed compliance into operational workflows\, interpret data as it’s created\, and respond to change without constant reconfiguration. Specifically\, we will cover: \n\n\n\n\nHow AI differs from traditional automation\n\n\n\nAn overview of the government and regulatory forces shaping this shift\n\n\n\nA readiness framework for moving from automation to intelligence.\n\n\n\nHow to strategically approach AI tax compliance\n\n\n\n\nCan’t attend live?

SUMMARY:From Guidance to Action: Exploring Practical ERM
DESCRIPTION:Event details\n\n\n\nEnterprise risk management (ERM) too often gets treated as a compliance exercise rather than a capability that helps organizations make better choices\, execute strategy\, and create and protect value. Grounded in The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission’s article on ERM\, co-authored with Crowe specialists\, this session will help attendees turn concepts into actionable ERM approaches. Specialists will explore how ERM can become more practical\, decision-oriented\, and connected to the business by linking risk management more directly to strategy\, governance\, and performance. \n\n\n\nAttendees will learn what stronger ERM looks like in practice\, including the disciplines\, behaviors\, and operating approaches that make risk more useful to leaders and boards. The session will also highlight lessons from organizations at different stages of ERM maturity and how those lessons can help teams move beyond check-the-box activity toward more effective\, value-focused risk management. \n\n\n\nAfter attending this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify ERM practices and operating disciplines that strengthen governance and support board oversight\n\n\n\nEvaluate how ERM can shift from a compliance-centered activity to a capability that supports better decisions and business value\n\n\n\nExplain how ERM can make risk more visible and actionable in support of strategy execution and performance\n\n\n\n\nContinuing professional education\n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None \n\n\n\nProgram level: Overview \n\n\n\nAdvance preparation: None \n\n\n\nDelivery method: Webinar (group internet based) \n\n\n\nField of study: Specialized knowledge \n\n\n\nThis session is recommended for 1.0 hour of CPE credit. \n\n\n\nNote: All participants MUST be logged into the webinar INDIVIDUALLY to receive CPE credit. CPE credit will only be granted in the name of the individual logged into the LIVE presentation. Crowe is unable to grant CPE credit for groups viewing the webinar or for viewing on-demand recordings of the webinar. \n\n\n\nThere is no registration fee for participating in this webinar; therefore\, there is no cancellation fee. \n\n\n\nAdditional CPE information
