Our process advice and automation enables our clients to reduce risk, increase efficiency, and meet their regulatory and tax obligations effectively.

Professionals are constantly being asked to do more with less, whilst simultaneously facing significant increases in regulatory and compliance obligations. With increasing pressure to provide transactional levels of data in shorter periods of time, technology solutions are the only way for regulatory, finance, and tax departments to meet those demands.
Our Digital team offers insight and solutions across the whole of your end-to-end processes, including data quality, automation and integration, transformation, validation and business logic, anomaly detection, reporting and dashboards, and structured data formats.

What we do and how we can help

We provide a full suite of Digital services in the tax, finance, and regulatory space. We can empower your transformation whether it is a process led approach, focussing on one or more problematic processes and the implications for people, process, data, and technology, or a strategic approach starting with the governance, controls and monitoring aspects.
In a process led approach, our Digital team will start by mapping out the current and desired state of each process that requires improvement capturing and documenting the process and data journey. We will then evaluate a range of technological and process solutions that would be appropriate for your specific circumstances. This may lead to process automation, process improvement, or process outsourcing, along with data analytic and data quality implementations.
In a strategic approach, we would begin the engagement with a senior stakeholders workshop, to understand the existing governance, controls and monitoring, and to review organisational process and technological maturity. This would lead to a bespoke high-level plan for the organisation which might include a RACI exercise for stakeholders, data and process strategy review, and controls framework implementation or update.

Data Strategy

Data is the bedrock of your business and your regulatory, finance, and tax departments. Knowing how to define an appropriate Data Strategy for your organisation is essential, and WTS Hansuke has the experience and expertise to help you accomplish your goal. Working with our Data Strategy Framework and Maturity Levels we help organisations to evaluate their existing data strategy to create an initial Maturity Matrix along with an Strategic Data Vision for improving their data maturity.

Process Automation

Our Digital team runs current and desired state analysis projects, RPA and Low-Code implementations (including Alteryx, Power Automate, and Less), and process monitoring / continual process improvement solutions to achieve increased efficiency, lower risk, and reducing overall process time. We also offer business enablement through a combination of training your staff and co-working with them as an option on the delivery of any Low-Code solutions.

Data Quality

Trust in Digital Solutions comes from confidence in the quality of source data. We offer data quality assessments, Digital Journey assessments, and data mapping and reconciliation exercises to identify existing data issues for remediation and to highlight areas for data management improvement. A comprehensive data map is a fundamentally useful asset for any organisation, allowing them to address not only Data Quality, but supporting Automation projects and Governance/SAO requirements.

Vendor Selection/Implementation

We provide vendor selection and software implementation services across wide range of software products. We also build databases and tools for clients where an existing software product does not exist or is not a viable option for the client, and provide automation services where a software product does not fully integrate with clients’ existing digital infrastructure.

Data Analytics

Even when an organisation is operating in BAU, the regulatory, finance and tax teams need tools to monitor the process data and metadata. Our Digital team implements monitoring solutions and dashboards for continual oversight, plus pattern matching and anomaly detection using AI. We can also perform process mining exercises to generate insight and actionable intelligence which could feed into Data Quality programmes.

Outsourcing

Our outsourcing services allow businesses to create capacity for high value work within existing teams by removing tedious and repetitive tasks.
Departments are typically resourced with no slack in their business as usual operations, trapping staff with low value work and no time to change their processes or address strategic and value-adding opportunities.
Our Tax Integrity, Assurance, and Digital teams all offers a range of outsourcing opportunities, allowing businesses like yours to break out of the time trap. We can support you with temporary or permanent outsourcing, and implementing like-for-like outsourcing, or outsourcing with process automation. We can also assist you with bringing improved or automated processes back in-house, allowing you to take full control over a flexible co-sourcing model.
