What tax issues keep you up at night or worry you during the day? The constant pressure of unexpected exposure? The frustration of resource constraints within your department? Longstanding procedural delays with taxing authorities? The absence of a broad substantive background on the issues, or the need for a proactive as well as reactive response to new audit demands?
Many tax departments have limited resources and personnel. Competing tax return filing and other deadlines consume these resources. Tax planning and issue resolution often take a back seat to the day-to-day demands of compliance. At the same time, management constantly calls for improved risk management and resolution of pending audits.
This is happening at a time when many states, counties, and municipalities are directing more and more resources to audit and enforcement. There have also been numerous legislative, regulatory, and case law changes across the United States. When added to the expanded information sharing among the states and federal government and the increased sophistication of state auditors, these developments have made state and local tax controversy a virtual minefield for tax directors today.
