Compliance is no longer just a regulatory requirement – it’s a business imperative. Yet many US organizations still treat tax and invoice compliance as a local, reactive task, even as real-time mandates and e-invoicing requirements accelerate across global markets.
Basware’s new research, conducted in collaboration with FT Longitude, reveals a clear gap between how US finance leaders view compliance and how it’s managed across the business. Organizations that take a centralized, digital approach are reducing risk, strengthening financial control, and removing barriers to global growth.

“Solving mandates one by one may work short-term, but retrofitting for compliance after the fact is always more costly. A consolidated, forward-looking strategy is the only way to ensure long-term efficiency and resilience. Tax compliance isn’t just a legal requirement – it’s a major cost center that grows with your business unless you automate. We help companies turn this complexity into a strategic advantage.”
"We’re about to see a massive wave of companies realizing it’s time to prioritize compliance as new mandates take effect. I’d love to see more organizations bring AP, AR, tax, and IT together to tackle the compliance process collaboratively. When done right, compliance isn’t just about checking a box – it can unlock faster audits, fewer penalties, and better cash flow visibility. The ROI is tangible, with many organizations seeing a near-immediate payback on their e-invoicing investments. And while mandates may be the catalyst, the real opportunity lies in taking a holistic, strategic approach to compliance that drives long-term value.”
“The landscape is shifting quickly. Companies need a compliance approach that’s not only current, but designed to evolve with future requirements. Simplifying complexity is the real value here – especially as governmental requirements and the business compliance requirements continue to grow. We’re helping customers build agility into their compliance foundation.”
