Executive Roundtable: From Compliance Requirement to Business Value

An Executive Roundtable hosted by Org and Avalara

The EU’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) reforms and the rapid expansion of e-invoicing mandates will fundamentally change how organisations manage transaction reporting, VAT compliance and financial data across Europe. With further regulatory developments emerging – including the AI Act – the compliance landscape is becoming increasingly complex and more data-driven.

While often approached as a tax or regulatory initiative, the implications extend far beyond compliance. These developments will influence cash visibility, financial control, operational efficiency and how organisations use compliance programmes to create wider business value.

Hosted jointly by Org and Avalara, this executive roundtable brings together a small group of senior finance and transformation leaders to explore how organisations can navigate these changes – and how regulatory requirements can also create opportunities to improve working capital, operational resilience and finance performance.

Why Attend

This roundtable will explore how organisations can turn regulatory change into operational and financial advantage, including:

• What ViDA readiness means in practice for organisations
• How e-invoicing and digital reporting will reshape finance operations
• The implications for cash flow visibility, DSO and working capital
• Balancing regulatory delivery with business-as-usual priorities
• Lessons emerging from organisations already preparing for these changes

The discussion will focus on practical insight, peer experience and real operational considerations.

Who should attend

This roundtable is designed for senior finance leaders responsible for financial performance, transformation and compliance, including:

• CFOs
• Finance Directors
• Heads of Finance
• Finance Transformation Leaders

Particularly those operating across multiple entities or jurisdictions with EU trading activity.

Format

This is a closed-door, discussion-led roundtable, designed for candid peer exchange.

The session will follow the Chatham House Rule to encourage open conversation and honest insight.

There will be no presentations or sales pitches – just practical discussion between finance leaders facing similar regulatory and operational challenges.
