Café Session: Global Compliance, Local eInvoicing Mandates: How Brown-Forman Simplified Tax in SAP Across EMEA and LATAM
Description

As governments around the world mandate real-time tax compliance, multinational enterprises like Brown-Forman are under pressure to modernize their SAP environments. For Brown-Forman, a global spirits company with operations in 160+ countries, regulatory change in Portugal, UK, Brazil, and Mexico posed a serious risk to IT bandwidth, finance operations, and business continuity.

In this session, Brown-Forman’s SAP leader and Sovos will share how they partnered to integrate real-time tax compliance directly into SAP across multiple jurisdictions. You'll hear how Brown-Forman redeployed IT and finance resources away from manual regulatory updates, eliminated the burden of ongoing SAP upgrades, and ensured always-on compliance in two of the world’s most complex tax environments.

Whether you're expanding globally or just trying to keep up with change, this is a must-attend for SAP customers who want to reduce audit risk, improve operational resilience, and simplify compliance at scale.

Join this session to learn how to:

  • Build a scalable compliance strategy that keeps pace with real-time tax mandates in SAP
  • Reduce internal IT burden by embedding e-invoicing and e-accounting compliance into SAP workflows
  • Minimize business disruption through automation and proactive support for jurisdictional changes
  • Justify compliance investment by quantifying risk avoidance, resource optimization, and operational gains
  • Collaborate with tax and IT stakeholders to align on a unified compliance approach across global SAP landscapes
