Modern Approaches to Data Management: Fueling Better Collaboration Between Internal/External Stakeholders and Family Members (Virtual) Charmaine Tang, President, and Tomas Hurcik, Co-Founder & CEO, ORCA AG Modern day tax, compliance, legal and regulatory frameworks require FOs to share information more-and-more frequently both internally and externally. To excel as a FO, you need to be able to share/gather information with/from all stakeholders as seamlessly and securely as possible. Conventional data aggregation & storage methods are not well suited to these processes. Digital data/documents do not need to be stored the same way as physical data/documents. We can achieve a lot more if we store digital data in an entirely different way. |
