FUNCTION 03 · COMPLIANCE

Every jurisdiction watched. Every filing certified.

Indirect tax, income tax provision, transfer pricing, AML/KYC and sanctions screening, SOX testing, regulatory reporting, ESG disclosure, contract compliance and case management. Rules change constantly. A registered professional still certifies what gets filed.

WHAT AI CHANGES

Ten compliance problems, one governed model.

Each card states the problem, what the AI does, the measurable outcome, and where the human signs. Cases marked illustrative are directional estimates, not benchmarked results.

01

Indirect tax / VAT & GST filing

ProblemMulti-jurisdiction VAT/GST rules change constantly; filings are built by hand.

AI doesApplies current jurisdiction rules to transactions, prepares returns, flags rate and rule changes.

Fewerlate or amended returns

02

Corporate income tax provision

ProblemTax provision workpapers are rebuilt from the GL every quarter under time pressure.

AI doesBuilds the provision from GL data, tracks permanent/temporary differences, drafts the tax note.

Shorter cycleprovision cycle; fewer late true-ups

03

Transfer pricing documentation

ProblemLocal files and benchmarking studies fall behind actual intercompany activity.

AI doesTracks intercompany transactions against policy, drafts local file updates and benchmarking gaps.

04

AML / KYC screening

ProblemCustomer screening and periodic reviews are backlogged and inconsistent.

AI doesScreens customers and transactions against watchlists and typologies, ranks alerts by risk.

Reduced backlogconsistent case documentation

05

Sanctions & watchlist screening

ProblemSanctions lists update frequently; screening coverage gaps go unnoticed.

AI doesScreens counterparties continuously against current sanctions and watchlists, resolves fuzzy matches.

Near-continuouscoverage instead of periodic batch runs

06

SOX / internal controls testing

ProblemControls testing is sampled manually and evidenced in spreadsheets.

AI doesTests controls across full populations, gathers evidence, flags exceptions and control gaps.

Full populationtesting instead of sample-based; faster remediation

07

Regulatory reporting

ProblemStatutory and regulatory returns are compiled by hand from multiple systems.

AI doesAssembles regulatory returns from source systems, validates against the filing schema, tracks deadlines.

Fewerlate filings; less manual data assembly

08

ESG & sustainability disclosure

ProblemESG data is scattered across systems and owners; disclosure prep is manual.

AI doesConsolidates ESG data from source systems, maps to the disclosure framework, flags gaps.

Reduceddisclosure prep time; fewer data gaps at filing

09

Contract compliance & obligations

ProblemContractual obligations and covenants are tracked in spreadsheets, if at all.

AI doesExtracts obligations, covenants and renewal terms from contracts; tracks and alerts before breach.

Continuoustracking instead of discovery at breach

Whistleblower / incident case management

ProblemIncident reports are logged inconsistently and investigations lack a clear trail.

AI doesStructures intake, routes cases by severity, drafts the investigation timeline and evidence log.

WHY GOVERNED, NOT AUTOMATED

Compliance can't be a best guess.

A missed rule change or an unresolved sanctions match isn't a bug to fix later - it's a filing that shouldn't have gone out, or a relationship that shouldn't have been onboarded. Accomply's AI tracks rule and list changes and drafts the response, but every filing and every case disposition is certified by a registered tax agent, compliance officer or MLRO before it moves.

The audit trail behind each certification - prompts, sources, model version, reviewer, timestamp - travels with the filing, so when a regulator asks how a number was produced, the answer is already documented.

  • Any jurisdiction. Problems are framed by function - tax, AML, controls, disclosure - not by border.
  • Confidence thresholds you control. Alerts and cases are ranked by risk, not dumped in a single queue.
  • Retained to regulatory standard. Immutable logs held for the periods your regulators require.
  • Certified, not automated. A licensed professional signs before anything is filed or released.
