• KPMG TaxNewsFlash provides breaking legislative and regulatory developments, and Audit Insights provide fresh perspectives on industry-specific insights, trends and resources

As companies struggle to keep pace against the dynamic backdrop of accelerating legislative, regulatory and technological change, strategic decision-making is paramount to business success. Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting and KPMG LLP, the tax, audit and advisory firm, have announced a new agreement that expands access to thought leaders to support tax and audit professionals while they navigate the current landscape. KPMG content from audit and tax leaders will now be available via two award-winning Wolters Kluwer research platforms.

The Wolters Kluwer CCH® AnswerConnect platform will host content from KPMG TaxNewsFlash, which is content authored by the Big Four firm’s Washington National Tax professionals – many of whom have prior experience at the US Department of the Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and state and local government positions with firsthand experience drafting laws and regulations and negotiating international tax agreements.

The Wolters Kluwer CCH® Accounting Research Manager® platform will host KPMG Audit Insights, a series of compelling articles that provide fresh perspectives on trends across the audit and accounting landscape. Topics include industry trends, ESG, board leadership, the evolving regulatory landscape, technology and more, and feature commentary by leaders from across the practice.

The improved platforms offer companies a 360° view of current legislative and regulatory updates, explanations, cases, IRS publications, forms & instructions and time-saving practice tools. Businesses use the suite of functions within the platforms when planning and strategizing, staying abreast of need-to-know information and one step ahead of competitors.
