Workarounds Described

• Relying on clients to mention new tax laws like HITS act
• Having senior staff act as go-betweens for clients and outsourced teams

Implied Software Gaps

• Integrated task management system that properly routes work between in-house and outsourced teams with client visibility
• Automated regulatory update system that proactively alerts accountants to relevant new laws
• Workflow platform that matches task complexity with staff capability and tracks knowledge gaps
