With the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) setting its sights on a $1 billion revenue shortfall gap, the spotlight is firmly placed on Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and their compliance with FBT obligations. This webinar aims to dissect the ‘Why, What, and How’ of integrating FBT services into accounting practices to not only manage client risks but also to generate a new revenue stream.
