SUMMARY:Webinar | How AI Analysis is Changing the Tax Landscape in Europe & the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:            \n\nComplying with tax obligations and assessing tax liabilities can be a time-consuming task\, whether for companies doing business in multiple jurisdictions with different tax processes and requirements\, for SMEs which may have limited resources or for individuals with complex tax affairs. The increasing use of data and data analytics\, as well as the digitalization of tax administration over the last decade\, has helped in reducing some of these burdens as well as improving the effectiveness and efficiency of tax administration. \nA defining feature of modern tax administration is now the massive amount of data that has become available to tax administrations\, including data required by law. This carries costs associated with the reporting and storage of data\, risks for data privacy and data protection\, as well as benefits in the assessment of tax liabilities\, identification of non-compliance and fraud and the generation of new insights and applications. \nAs the volume of data increases\, so has the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning become more prevalent\, assisting tax professionals and tax administrations in their respective roles\, uncovering patterns in mounds of data that can be missed by humans and informing decision-making in multiple areas. \nJoin our panel of experts for a discussion that will address how the use of AI driven data analysis\, both by companies & tax administrations\, could change taxation worldwide. \nREGISTER HERE \nAGENDA:\nSetting the stage – big data and AI\nThere is more tax data than ever and the tax databases of authorities and tax preparers are both enormous and generally well-validated.\n● What are the benefits/challenges of this wealth of data?\n● What are the use cases for AI now and in the near future in the field of taxation\, including across borders. \nRegulatory Aspects – what concerns does AI and Big Data raise?\nData Governance:\n● How to protect privacy and confidentiality?\n● How are tax authorities managing increased amounts of data?\n● How to decide when data can be shared and with whom? \nGovernance of AI processes:\n● How is the use of AI best governed?\n● Decision-making by AI – what are the limits?\n● Challenges presented by the use of AI in tax analysis from a regulatory aspect \nLook into the Crystal Ball – what might we expect in 10 years’ time?\n● Trend towards real time taxation – does this inevitably mean more data flows?\n● Can more seamless taxation be achieved by moving taxation processes into taxpayers’ natural systems rather than bringing data into tax administration systems?\n● What type of technology is already available and which need to be developed to move to more seamless taxation?\n● How might the role of AI in taxation develop? \nSPEAKERS:\n● Ivan Roussev\, Data Scientist\, EY [moderator]\n● Peter Green\, Head of Forum on Tax Administration Secretariat\, OECD\n● Christian Hallum\, Tax Justice Lead\, OXFAM\n● Frank Sangers\, Chief Financial Officer\, CITIZENM HOTELS \nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACCTX and EACC NY Members: Free\nNon-Members: Free \nREGISTER HERE \nIt is a joint webinar organized by EACC New York and EACC Texas. \n\nLocation:\nOnline \n  \nSPEAKERS BIOS:\n● Ivan Roussev\, Data Scientist\, EY [moderator] \nIvan Roussev is a senior manager in EY’s Tax Technology and Transformation (TTT) practice\, based in Dallas\, TX.

SUMMARY:Quarterly EU Economic Update: Forged in Crisis – How the War in Ukraine May Strengthen the European Union & the Transatlantic Relationship
DESCRIPTION:EACC New-York – \nThe Russian invasion of Ukraine has unleashed a humanitarian crisis and a major macro-economic shock that fundamentally changes the global economic outlook. The EU is directly exposed to spillovers from the conflict\, but the impact will be more pronounced for countries on its eastern border. Surging commodity prices\, disrupted supply chains\, and unprecedented trade and financial sanctions will all weigh on growth and push inflation higher in the near-term. \nWith that said\, key economic indicators show that the European economic expansion overall should remain strong enough to weather these war-related disruptions and continue its recovery. The outlook is clouded by significant uncertainties regarding the outcome of the war in Ukraine\, the impacts of economic sanctions on Russia\, and possible responses from Russia and other major geopolitical actors. It is clear that the war presents many challenges for the EU\, especially over the medium-term\, and it drives home the need to accelerate the energy transition. Securing clean\, reliable sources of energy are now not simply an environmental priority\, but a matter of geopolitical security for Europe. \nIt is often said that Europe will be forged in crises but with challenges come opportunity. The continent is responding with solidarity\, strengthening and deepening the European Union while providing aid to Ukraine. Forceful policy actions are reinforcing a broad-based economic recovery by supporting business and household incomes\, encouraging investment\, and promoting the green and digital transitions. \nJoin us for an in-depth discussion of the challenges and opportunities facing the European economy. Our panel will begin with an update on the European Commission’s newly released Spring 2022 Economic Forecast\, the first to factor in the war in Ukraine and associated sanctions on Russia. \nRegister here \nWe will then discuss the major challenges and opportunities facing Europe\, covering a variety of possible scenarios and key questions facing policy makers:\n● What is the inflation outlook and how should policy makers respond?\n● How should the EU adjust its fiscal stance to deal with the impact of the war?\n● What policy tools are available to ease the uneven impact of the war and refugee inflow on different EU member states?\n● How are businesses likely to adapt their supply chains?\n● What are the main EU policy developments in the energy sector?\n● What does the war mean for the broader global economic and financial architecture that has been in place since World War Two? \n  \nSPEAKERS:\n● Balazs Parkanyi\, Counsellor for Economic and Financial Affairs\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n● Ben Carliner\, Senior Economist\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES\n● Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator] \nTIME:\n1:00 – 2:00 PM EDT | 19:00h – 20:00h CET \nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACCNY Members: Free\nEACCNY non-Members: Free

SUMMARY:Dealing with Digital Assets: Business Realities vs. Knowns & Unknowns
DESCRIPTION:Join EACC New-York for an EU-US comparative assessment of business implications in the Wild West of digital assets. \nRegister here \nInterest in digital assets and digital currencies has been steadily growing both in the EU and the United States. The technologies behind this phenomenon and its business implications are tremendous. Our panelists will discuss the practical perspective on the commercial use of digital assets and currencies. They will shed light on issues around property and ownership of digital assets\, transferring them in the sale of goods with the right documentation\, remedies\, and security disclosures \nThe discussion will also address taxation and insurance issues\, consumer and investor protection questions\, as well as a comparative assessment of EU and US legislation including the European Commission’s Regulation of Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) and the United States’ Executive Order on Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets. \nIn the webinar we will raise topical issues like the impact of cyber-attacks on the systems that manage and create digital assets\, and the role of the digital asset intermediaries to create confidence on the market. We will also cover the fight against the illicit use of digital assets with special focus on the war in Ukraine and the sanctions on Russia. \nAre we bartering Pearls for Glass Pebbles? With a look into the future of digital assets and central bank issued digital currencies\, our panelist will talk about the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) movement\, the issue of anonymity and its impact on mass adoption of digital assets\, and the challenge if digital currencies could become the ultimate medium of exchange\, where pure demand and supply define their value. \nAGENDA: \n> Property & ownership of digital assets \n> Transfer in the sale of goods\n• Transaction documentation\n• Security (safety) in commercial transactions\n• Remedies if something goes wrong \n> Comparison between EU and US law on digital assets\n• Relevant financial regulations (do transactions fall under regulatory regiments)\n• Preview of upcoming EU MiCA Regulation (Markets in Crypto Assets)\n• Executive Order on Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets (differences with MICA) \n> Taxation of digital assets \n> Insurance related issues\n• Cyber-attacks and how they would affect contracts/flow of payments\n• Consumer and Investor protection \n> DeFi (Decentralized Finance) movement – what you need to know\n• Offering comfort on the market/platforms – the role of intermediaries\n• Use of digital assets in the context of the war in Ukraine and sanctions on Russia (incl. illicit finance) \n> Can digital currencies ever be the ultimate medium of exchange\, where pure demand and supply define their value? \n> Traceability: Would solving the anonymity issue drive mass adaption? \n\nSPEAKERS: \n•  Marc Jones\, Partner\, STEWARTS\n•  Marc Minor\, Partner\, THOMPSON HINE\n•  Matthew Flynn\, Partner\, BENNETT JONES\n•  Dr. Markus Kaulartz\, Partner\, CMS\n•  Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator] \nTIME:\n10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EDT / 16:00 h – 17:00 h CET \nREGISTRATION FEE:\nEACCNY Members: Free\nEACCNY non-Members: Free

SUMMARY:Quarterly EU Economic Update: Springtime in Europe - What the EU's Green Transition Means for US Businesses
DESCRIPTION:Though Omicron weighed on the European economy at the end of last year\, growth is already regaining traction. Supply chain bottlenecks and high energy prices are expected to recede over the course of the year\, though inflationary pressures are proving to be a bit more persistent than previously thought. Nonetheless\, the EU recovery should now be entering a prolonged and robust expansion. A continuously improving labor market\, a large stock of accumulated savings\, and especially the full deployment of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) should power strong domestic demand. \nThe investment outlook is as strong as it has ever been. Not only are businesses poised to invest more in critical equipment to boost productive capacity and resolve supply chain issues\, the RRF is set to launch a wave of spending on new green and digital technologies. \nMost member states have already received their first round of RRF pre-financing\, and over €46 billion in grants and nearly €20 billion in loans have been distributed so far. Now\, disbursements for countries that have already fulfilled specific targets and milestones in their Recovery and Resilience Plans are being rolled out. Spain received a €10 billion grant at the end of last year\, and many more member states should receive additional disbursements soon. \nPlease join our discussion of the EU Spring economic outlook and to learn about the implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Plans and how you can get involved. \n\n\nSPEAKERS: \n\n Balazs Parkanyi\, Counsellor for Economic and Financial Affairs\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES \nBen Carliner\, Senior Economist\, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES \nYvonne Bendinger-Rothschild\, Executive Director\, EACCNY [Moderator]
