CRS2 & CARF unpacked: The Operational Impact

​Join us for an exclusive breakfast roundtable to discuss the changing regulatory landscape for fintech’s. International bodies and local tax authorities are moving decisively to close long‑standing gaps in digital finance reporting

​bringing e‑money providers, challenger banks, and crypto asset‑ firms firmly into the global tax transparency net. This change demands deeper data collection, stronger due diligence, and annual reporting that many firms have never had to perform before.

​The session will be led by Consulting Partner Sophie Long, Consulting Director Adrian Hextall and Tax Director Mark Scholfield and is designed as an open discussion to move past the high-level guidance and explore what these changes really mean for fintech leaders. This includes hearing from Andrew Evers on his experience leading CRS2 implementation at ClearBank supported by S&W.

​ We will discuss:

​·       Timeline reality & readiness posture

​·       Scope expansion of CRS, e-money, CBDCs and crypto linked products

​·       Data capture under CARF and regulatory reporting obligations for the very first time

​·       Controlling persons, role granularity & entity complexity including self-certification proof

​·       Dealing with joint accounts, multitax residency and data model implications

​·       Reporting mechanics, data volume and quality considerations & the penalty regime
