Tax Accounting & IFRS-Driven Current Tax Reporting
Bridge IFRS profit to taxable income with deferred tax, uncertain positions and group reporting discipline.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
Your finance team spends most of its week extracting, reconciling and re-keying — the work tax accounting should have automated years ago. Every quarter of delay raises the price: talent burns out on manual work while the board budgets for the transformation you did not lead. This programme treats tax accounting as architecture, not automation: the data foundations, the process design and the governance that make everything downstream possible.
Context
Why this matters now
Capability
What you will be able to do
- Diagnose tax accounting failure at the architecture level, not the symptom level.
- Architect financial data so tax accounting automation becomes possible rather than aspirational.
- Lead the tax accounting transformation agenda: sequencing, business case, governance and adoption.
- Defend a tax accounting transformation plan before board, audit and budget committee.
The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
Two Versions of the Truth, One Signature
Days before a bond issuance, the two largest divisions of a county treasury report materially different group numbers; the charts of accounts disagree, and the CFO must sign the offering circular. The market opens in 72 hours.
Your decision: Delay the issuance, disclose with qualifications, or force a reconciliation overnight — and decide who owns the tax accounting architecture that allowed this.
IPAT Data Lab™
A diversified industrial group cannot produce one set of numbers its directors trust.
Dataset: Synthetic consolidated statements and transaction data for a multi-division a diversified industrial group.
Your task: Clean, map and automate the close, then design the decision dashboard the board actually needs.
A working decision dashboard and the tax accounting data architecture behind it.
Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
