Jenny Clarke and Cristina Alvarez discuss KPMG's recent success at the ITR Awards

Innovative compliance tools. New approach to reporting. Smart tech. ITR Asia-Pacific Tax Awards winners Jenny Clarke and Cristina Alvarez discuss how the team at KPMG is ‘re-imagining’ tax in the region.


In this awards’ special edition of Tax Insights podcasts, ITR’s Prin Shasiharan is joined by experts Jenny Clarke and Cristina Alvarez, KPMG leaders working in the Asia-Pacific region.

In August 2021, KPMG was announced as the Asia-Pacific Compliance and Reporting Firm of the Year by ITR, while also achieving widespread national and regional success throughout the region across a number of categories. The recognition marked the firm’s fourth consecutive triumph in the category.

The experts discuss how tax compliance has evolved over the last decade, including the impact of the KPMG’s renowned ‘Tax Reimagined’ offering, and the big picture challenges that multinational organisations face as they look to transform their tax functions. They provide examples of successful projects and provide advice for business leaders contemplating evolving their tax operations.
