A key job duty of a Controller is to understand taxation and be able to effectively work with the tax department. Most tax departments report to the CFO and are responsible for the filing of tax returns, payment of taxes and the accounting entries related to income tax expense, taxes payable and deferred income tax.

"The relationship between a controller and the tax department is vital. In past roles I was responsible for liaising with the tax group to understand changes in income tax expense and tax liability. I understand that a controller must understand the tax implications of various decisions and must stay up to date with the latest tax guidelines. I look forward to expanding my taxation knowledge even further as my career evolves."
