In the latest episode of the Thomson Reuters Institute Insights podcast, Nadya Britton, the Enterprise Content Manager for Tax & Accounting content at the Thomson Reuters Institute, spoke with Pilar Mata, Executive Director of Tax Executive Institute, about the findings from the Institute’s 2023 State of the Corporate Tax Department survey report.

The discussion shed light on the present landscape and future trends within corporate tax departments, particularly concerning technology adoption and talent management — two themes that stood out in the report. As the podcast highlights, the shift towards technology and automation has become the focal point for many tax departments and many department leaders said they are proud of their departments’ achievements in this area.
