A standout moment was the revelation of the UAE’s plans to implement a soft clearance, decentralized model for taxation. The introduction phase is set to follow a precise timeline, ensuring businesses have ample time to prepare adequately.

Some important key takeaways of the two days included:

  • Don’t delay in planning for E-Invoicing and AP Automation by waiting for E-Invoicing becoming mandatory. Starting early means benefiting sooner from improved business processes.
  • Establish a clear roadmap for AP transformation, engaging all relevant stakeholders and departments such as tax, IT, and accounting from the outset.
  • Recognize that success stems from a blend of technology AND people.
  • Draw lessons from experiences in other regions to avoid reinventing the wheel.
