The ATO’s assurance reviews operate as part of the ATO Tax Avoidance Taskforce which operate across both the Private Wealth market segment and the Public Groups and Multinational Groups market segments.
While the assurance reviews may have difference areas of focus depending on the market segment, one area which is consistent is the growing focus on strong tax governance.
The Federal Government has provided substantial and sustained funding for the programs since 2016, enabling the ATO to have the resources and support to continue the development of these programs. Over the years, the Assurance Programs have influenced the way organisations design and document their tax matters to meet the ATO’s expectations for good governance and compliance.
Understanding how the ATO approaches assurance programs, and what constitutes effective tax governance, is more important than ever. Grant Thornton is proud to host a timely and practical webinar with special guests Glenn Cooper (AC Private Wealth) and Megan Croaker (AC PGI) from the ATO. This session will unpack the ATOs expectations on tax governance and how it differs between market segments.
Attendees will gain clarity on:
- The ATO's approach to assurance reviews and governance requirements
- Key differences in expectations for groups in the Private Wealth market when compared with the Public Groups and International market.
- What good tax governance actually looks like, from ATO’s perspective
- What happens when governance falls short: real-world examples of risk and consequence
This webinar is ideal for family offices, wealth family groups, business owners, CFOs, tax managers, and governance professionals looking to stay ahead of the curve and align with ATO best practices.
Register today and get equipped with the insight your organisation needs to demonstrate sound governance and assurance readiness.
