Direct tax compliance is no longer just a filing exercise, it is a balance-sheet risk, a working-capital lever, and a board-level governance issue.
Every year, enterprises quietly lose crores due to expense disallowances, unreconciled tax credits, monthly interest of 1–1.5%, penalties, and prolonged assessments, not because of deliberate non-compliance, but due to invisible fragility in control systems. While tax authorities increasingly deploy AI-driven scrutiny and data matching, many organisations still rely on stitched ERP reports, Excel reconciliations, and reactive corrections, leaving CFOs exposed during audits.
AI-enabled direct tax control frameworks help protect working capital, eliminate preventable risks, reduce litigation exposure, and ensure clean, defensible data in the face of scrutiny.

Why This Discussion Matters Now?
Direct tax scrutiny is becoming more data-driven, more complex, and more continuous.
For finance leaders, this raises critical questions about how tax risk is identified, managed, and controlled across the organization.
Key challenges include:
• Hidden tax exposure within large volumes of financial data
• Manual reconciliation across multiple enterprise systems
• Increasing documentation requirements during assessments
• Faster response expectations from tax authorities
As finance functions continue to digitize, AI is emerging as a potential tool to strengthen tax governance and improve risk visibility.
This CFO Dinner roundtable explores how finance leaders are rethinking direct tax control frameworks in the AI era.
