Tax Governance and Board Level Tax Risk Management

Boards are increasingly held accountable for the tax positions their companies take, yet many directors lack a structured way to oversee tax risk. This course sets out how to build a tax governance framework, define a tax risk appetite, and report tax matters to the audit committee and board. The approach aligns with King IV expectations and the reality of SARS focus on responsible tax conduct.

What you will be able to do

  • Define a tax governance framework and tax risk appetite for the organisation.
  • Identify and categorise the main sources of corporate tax risk.
  • Establish roles and responsibilities across the tax control environment.
  • Report tax risk and tax positions to the audit committee and board.
  • Align tax governance with King IV and responsible tax conduct.
  • Monitor tax controls and respond to changes in law and practice.
