Deloitte Tax CEO Talks Global Reforms, Tech Future

The new CEO of Deloitte's tax practice is grappling with many of the same challenges as the Big Four firm's clients: rapid shifts in how tax practitioners work thanks to artificial intelligence, a shortage of skilled staff, and reforms that will impose a new global minimum tax. Companies are starting to get their arms around the new rules that will impose a 15% global minimum tax and whether they should tackle implementation in-house or seek outside help, said Carin Giuliante, chair and CEO of Deloitte Tax LLP. Giuliante, the first woman to lead the firm’s US tax practice, took the helm in June and pledged to provide a “digital experience” to clients and to invest in training and career development for the firm’s professionals. She spoke to Bloomberg Tax & Accounting senior reporter Amanda Iacone about new Internal Revenue Service regulations for cryptocurrency assets, how artificial intelligence is reshaping the tax practice, and the firm’s ongoing commitment to diversify and support its workforce.
