Global Invoice Compliance

Ensure full compliance and peace of mind in every country you operate. Basware simplifies complex regulations and reduces risk across the entire invoice lifecycle globally.

Why compliance should be a CFO priority 

Invoice compliance isn’t just a tax or IT issue it’s a CFO-level priority. With governments tightening regulations and increasing real-time reporting requirements, finance leaders face growing exposure to penalties, fraud, and inefficiencies.

Compliance impacts cash flow, audit readiness, data quality, and even ESG reporting. It spans AP, AR, procurement, IT, and legal. At Basware, we empower CFOs to proactively manage this complexity through a single, unified platform that ensures global compliance, optimizes finance operations, and reduces risk.

Value-added tax (VAT) accounts for 34% of global tax revenue – making it the largest single source for governments. (Billentis)

Governments lose 20–30% of potential VAT revenue to fraud and inefficiencies. Digital compliance programs can reduce that gap by up to 50%. (Billentis)

With e-invoicing mandates accelerating worldwide, the global e-invoicing market is expected to nearly triple by 2028 – growing at a CAGR of 27.9%. (Billentis)

Markus Hornburg, SVP, Global Compliance

“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.”

Jason Kurtz, Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

"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.”
