Objectifs

Ten years after its introduction into EU laws, CRS reporting will be enhanced with a new set of information to be exchanged.
While in terms of client and investor onboarding procedures, DAC 8 will not change how Financial Institution (FI) should work, tax authorities will be better equipped to detect incomplete or incoherent sets of reporting data.

At the same time, tax authorities under the guidance of the EU Commission and the OECD are conducting more and more controls and on-site audits.

It is thus important for FIs to have a strong governance in place around CRS (and other tax transparency regulations such as FATCA, DAC6 etc) and to carefully review their operating model to ensure that any potential compliance gaps are identified and corrected before the entry into force of the Directive in January 2026.

As part of this course, PwC's Academy offers to highlight your company's requirements regarding this topic and to address, in a comprehensive and practical way, the questions professionals are confronted with in the light of their mandatory professional duties and the 'progressive' evolution of CRS regulations.

Thanks to the strong expertise in the financial sector and the professional experience of our lead experts, our courses can help FIs improve their CRS knowledge according to the best practices.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • identify the impacts of the new regulatory requirements on their organisation;
  • review their operating model;
  • prepare a remediation plan if necessary;
  • enhance their CRS procedure and control framework in line with the new requirements and market practice;
  • understand the interactions with other tax regulatory requirements.
