Programme:
eInvoicing and eReporting
The value proposition is well established. As the decentralised 5-corner model gains mass appeal, the synergies from eInvoicing and eReporting are increasingly evident.
As more governments mandate eInvoicing and eReporting, it is essential to stay up to date and get ready. Hear about the latest initiatives from leading policy makers and industry insiders; understand how the decentralised 5-corner model works; and learn about our work with tax administrations as we help them to prepare for ViDA.
A technical track will run in parallel with the main conference during the afternoon of Day 1 and the morning of Day 2. Participants can move between tracks.
Speakers will be confirmed soon – look out for the next update!
