This positive sentiment fuels confidence in using M&A to secure growth, with 68% looking to invest in new areas, including joint ventures and acquisitions 🔸 Emerging technologies, such as AI, are seen as disruptive forces reshaping industries. M&A is seen as a means to rapidly adopt these technologies and stay competitive 🔸 UK CEOs are increasingly adopting more frequent and adaptive portfolio review processes, with over half conducting them quarterly, signalling a shift to a more dynamic approach to M&A to respond to market changes quickly. This all suggests that UK CEOs are highly motivated to leverage M&A to navigate a complex economic environment, using acquisitions to drive technological adoption and ensure sustained growth.

👀 A recent EY survey indicates that CEOs have a focus on business transformation activities in 2024, to face the increasingly challenging and complex circumstances companies are operating in. Next to that, CEOs have a bullish outlook on M&A in 2024. We all know what these CEOs require: in-house #tax teams that are on top of their game. Indeed, whether it is business transformation, M&A, or any other project, there will be significant tax implications for the multinational concerned. Such projects constitute an incremental workload for the in-house tax team. Only strategic business partners can handle this. 🚀 Yet another reason to accelerate the #transformation of your tax function. Yet another reason to achieve higher levels of preparedness for upcoming change. #taxtech #taxtechnology https://lnkd.in/dpka9XKK
