The accounting industry is staring down the barrel of several industry-wide changes in the next few years. Making Tax Digital (MTD) and the increasing requirements for collaborative accounting and flexible working in the industry are just two of the main changes that require planning and swift action. So how can accountants meet the demands of the evolving accounting landscape?

The CaseWare team recently held two client conferences, in London and Dublin on 14th and 21st June to tackle these key topics. CaseWare experts discussed their vision for the future of accounting technology to tackle key industry challenges as well as our plans to support clients through these changes.
We covered a range of industry topics at these events, with our team running through the latest product developments and updates to the suite of CaseWare solutions. We’ve summarised the top highlights from CaseWare’s product experts.
The latest on Making Tax Digital
The MTD initiative is set to transform and revolutionise the current UK tax system, forcing accounting firms to restructure their internal processes to meet the requirements of MTD.
It’s important to appreciate the fact that MTD is not just a replacement of the existing system, but a complete overhaul. Unsurprisingly, a key focus for many accounting firms is digital transformation and ensuring they have MTD-compatible solutions in place to streamline the reporting process.
CaseWare’s Product Manager, Stuart Miller, gave attendees a first look at our brand-new Making Tax Digital solution designed to ensure MTD compliance and streamline the reporting process.
The Making Tax Digital solution is Cloud-based and enables users to import their financial data directly into it. This includes data from accounting platforms such as Xero, Sage, Exact and QuickBooks. It also supports Excel spreadsheets and makes the transfer of financial data seamless.

Our AccountsAdvanced Product Manager, Ashley Goldsmith, provided attendees with an in-depth demonstration of the latest developments in the AccountsAdvanced software – as well as its future development roadmap.
The AccountsAdvanced software enables its users to quickly and simply produce financial statements across a wide range of entity types – regardless of how complex the accounting structure. The AccountsAdvanced software is compliant for FRS 101, FRS 102, FRS 105 micro entities and IFRS financials.
