Closing the loop: Reconciling VAT returns with eInvoicing data

Indirect tax reconciliation has quietly become one of the most critical disciplines in modern VAT governance. Yet in many organisations it remains fragmented, manual and reactive hidden behind spreadsheets, siloed ERPs and disconnected workflows even as regulatory expectations accelerate.

As tax authorities expand Continuous Transaction Controls (CTCs), near real-time reporting and mandatory e-Invoicing regimes, the tolerance for inconsistency is disappearing. Authorities increasingly expect transaction-level traceability, aligned data across systems, and evidence that reported VAT fully reconciles to underlying documentation and payments.

What you will learn

In this session, Lisa explores reconciliation as the connective infrastructure between compliance, governance and technology and explains how leading organisations are transforming reconciliation into a scalable, repeatable control framework:

• Reconciliation-first perspective: While much of the dialogue today focuses on mandates like CTCs and e-Invoicing, reconciliation is the control surface that connects compliance, audit defensibility and recovery.
• Control and exposure lens: Fragmented ERPs, local workarounds, disconnected billing tools and spreadsheet-based processes create structural exposure not just inefficiency. When tax, document and payment data fail to align, organisations face elevated audit scrutiny, recovery risk and operational instability.
• Practical operating model: Clear, actionable guidance on governance, data architecture, workflows and exception management that translates strategy into a scalable control framework.
• Vendor-neutral evaluation framework: A structured checklist for assessing indirect tax platforms centered on control integrity, traceability and scalability naturally aligned with Fintua’s strengths, without being product-led.
• Future-ready foundation: How centralised, reconciled data enables continuous compliance, proactive risk monitoring and AI-driven insight moving tax teams from reactive correction to forward-looking control.
