The accounts payable (AP) and procurement functions are constantly changing. Donal Colbert, a practice leader in Europe for Vertex Consulting, taps into his 25 years of experience to discuss the evolution. Kristin and Donal round out episode four of Tax Today with a conversation about the possibilities of touchless AP in the value-added tax (VAT) process.

Why is automating tax in procurement so difficult? And how can teamwork help — not hinder — the process? Kristin sits down with Vertex Consulting practice leader Tiffany O’Neil to answer those questions and more in episode three of Tax Today.

Sales tax. Use tax. Value-added tax. In episode two of Tax Today, Kristin talks to guests Mike Bernard and Peter Boerhof, from Vertex’s chief taxation office, about how U.S. and European organizations manage their systems. The trio also tackles invoice automation, accounts payable outsourcing, and touchless tax.

Tax touches everything. That’s especially true in the procurement process. In the very first episode of Tax Today, Kristin is joined by Vertex’s Mike Bernard and Peter Boerhof to talk about the partnership between tax and procurement, the similarities and differences between global systems, and the importance of automating tax.
