In association with
<strong>SAP</strong> system alignment provides a foundation for solid <strong>VAT</strong> compliance<br />
S<strong>in</strong>ce the recent <strong>in</strong>troduction of the new legal framework, we realise those responsible for ensur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>VAT</strong> compliance with<strong>in</strong> the<br />
organisation have been placed under <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g pressure. This stra<strong>in</strong> is compounded by the ongo<strong>in</strong>g struggle to collaborate and<br />
communicate effectively to those responsible for modifications to the f<strong>in</strong>ancial system.<br />
This one day Masterclass is designed to help organisations address these challenges by <strong>in</strong>vit<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong>ternational <strong>VAT</strong> experts to meet their <strong>SAP</strong> counterparts! Delegates from both sides of the<br />
bus<strong>in</strong>ess will be educated on how to evaluate and modify their f<strong>in</strong>ancial processes with the aim<br />
of achiev<strong>in</strong>g full <strong>VAT</strong> compliance, <strong>in</strong> a complex bus<strong>in</strong>ess and legal environment. By focus<strong>in</strong>g on the<br />
f<strong>in</strong>ancial ERP system as the foundation, we present a best-practice approach for improved efficiency,<br />
control, compliance and risk mitigation, as demanded by tax adm<strong>in</strong>istrations.<br />
Through <strong>in</strong>formative keynotes, <strong>in</strong>-depth presentations and workshops delivered by <strong>VAT</strong> and <strong>SAP</strong><br />
experts from mult<strong>in</strong>ational companies, you’ll get the tools and <strong>in</strong>sights you need to identify<br />
common <strong>VAT</strong> challenges and areas of risk, while learn<strong>in</strong>g new approaches to achieve improved<br />
and transparent <strong>VAT</strong> compliance across your bus<strong>in</strong>ess.<br />
This one day Masterclass will enable you to:<br />
• Break down <strong>in</strong>ternal communication barriers and <strong>in</strong>troduce elegant synchronicity between <strong>VAT</strong> and <strong>SAP</strong><br />
• Understand key challenges that mult<strong>in</strong>ationals runn<strong>in</strong>g <strong>SAP</strong> are fac<strong>in</strong>g and how they are overcom<strong>in</strong>g them<br />
• Fully appreciate the wider impact of the <strong>VAT</strong> Package on bus<strong>in</strong>ess<br />
• Navigate complex <strong>VAT</strong> structures and complex supply cha<strong>in</strong>s <strong>in</strong> <strong>SAP</strong><br />

European mult<strong>in</strong>ationals need to respond <strong>in</strong> order to achieve effective and transparent <strong>VAT</strong> compliance<br />
Mult<strong>in</strong>ational bus<strong>in</strong>esses with European shared services are quickly realis<strong>in</strong>g that they need to align their <strong>VAT</strong> and <strong>SAP</strong><br />

• What tax adm<strong>in</strong>istration ‘evolution’ looks like and how it effects you<br />
• What an effective response to risk looks like<br />
• The best practices that have been realised <strong>in</strong> the last 6 months<br />

STREAM A – THE <strong>VAT</strong> STREAM<br />
Facilitated by Walter Van Der Corput, Head of <strong>VAT</strong><br />
Knowledge IBFD<br />
This session will be led by Walter Van Der Corput<br />
and is geared to show you how two lead<strong>in</strong>g operations<br />
<strong>in</strong> Europe dealt with the preparation, and then the implementation<br />
and f<strong>in</strong>e tun<strong>in</strong>g of the changes. The session will be broken <strong>in</strong>to<br />
engag<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>teractive exercises, designed to ensure you take away<br />
practical learn<strong>in</strong>gs from this stream.<br />
Scor<strong>in</strong>g 10/10 for preparation - but what about the events that<br />
nobody forecasted?<br />
Michel Barbe was <strong>in</strong>strumental dur<strong>in</strong>g the preparation for the <strong>VAT</strong><br />
Package at Amgen. “The cost of non compliance was never an<br />
issue for us - we had no choice but to be ready on time, with full<br />
compliance” he says. The real proof of their read<strong>in</strong>ess was tested<br />
on January 31st and as far as Michel is concerned, they scored<br />
10/10. “However, there is always scope for improvement”. In this<br />
fasc<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g case study presentation Michel will share with you:<br />
• The key aspects of the project that enabled the project team<br />
at Amgen to have such confidence<br />
• The challenges they encountered across the organisation and<br />
how they were handled both effectively and efficiently<br />
• Open technical issues and various <strong>in</strong>consistencies across countries<br />
• How they prepared for the unknowns, and what open issues<br />
are still be<strong>in</strong>g addressed<br />
• The importance of the cont<strong>in</strong>u<strong>in</strong>g programme of AP tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g and<br />
company-wide education<br />
• How Michel and the team look to secure 100% compliance for<br />
2010 and beyond<br />
Michel Barbe, Indirect Tax Senior Manager, Amgen<br />
How DuPont implemented and f<strong>in</strong>e tuned their significant<br />
<strong>VAT</strong> Package changes<br />
Paula Regales speaks on behalf of the entire European tax<br />
community when she says “the <strong>VAT</strong> Package change is the biggest<br />
change <strong>in</strong> EU <strong>VAT</strong> law s<strong>in</strong>ce 1993”. As a result, DuPont, a company<br />
which puts compliance first, has implemented and f<strong>in</strong>e tuned their<br />
<strong>VAT</strong> Package project with almost military precision. In this excellent<br />
presentation, Paula Regales will be exam<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> detail:<br />
• The critical success factors to build<strong>in</strong>g the right project team<br />
• How they identified the stakeholders and communicated the<br />
impacts of change to them early and successfully<br />
• How they have f<strong>in</strong>e tuned the implementation spend<strong>in</strong>g time<br />
with smaller and mid-sized suppliers who cont<strong>in</strong>ue to send<br />
erroneous <strong>in</strong>voices<br />
• How they are runn<strong>in</strong>g their Post Go Live Plan to keep their<br />
compliancy high<br />
• How transport and work<strong>in</strong>g goods <strong>in</strong>voices have been a<br />
significant focus for them<br />
• What the key lessons learnt are<br />
• What Paula has identified as the s<strong>in</strong>gle po<strong>in</strong>t of failure <strong>in</strong> DuPont<br />

STREAM B – THE <strong>SAP</strong> STREAM<br />
Facilitated by Stef Cornelissen, Senior Project Manager,<br />
CIBER Nederland BV<br />
This session will be led by Stef Cornelissen and is<br />
geared to demonstrate how lead<strong>in</strong>g <strong>SAP</strong> experts <strong>in</strong><br />
Europe approached the complexities of implement<strong>in</strong>g and f<strong>in</strong>e<br />
tun<strong>in</strong>g their <strong>SAP</strong> system-changes required to implement the<br />
2010 <strong>VAT</strong> Package.<br />
Gett<strong>in</strong>g the preparation piece for <strong>SAP</strong> and the <strong>VAT</strong> Package<br />
right first time<br />
As a senior project manager for CIBER, Stef was tasked to<br />
manage the <strong>SAP</strong> systems changes required to implement the<br />
provisions of the 2010 <strong>VAT</strong> package <strong>in</strong> 10 <strong>SAP</strong> systems at<br />
Royal Philips Electronics. Hav<strong>in</strong>g managed complicated legal<br />
change projects <strong>in</strong> the past, Stef knew from the beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g<br />
that a successful outcome required careful plann<strong>in</strong>g and<br />
coord<strong>in</strong>ation between f<strong>in</strong>ance, bus<strong>in</strong>ess and <strong>SAP</strong> teams. In<br />
this <strong>in</strong>sightful presentation, Stef will share his experiences and<br />
illustrate some of the key challenges that he faced and how<br />
these were overcome, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g:<br />
• Def<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g the fundamental changes and risks to Philips<br />
• Formulat<strong>in</strong>g the change requirements<br />
• <strong>SAP</strong> OSS notes - use, adapt or ignore?<br />
• Could standard <strong>SAP</strong> configuration achieve the objectives, or<br />
was customisation and additional cod<strong>in</strong>g required?<br />
• Impact on bill<strong>in</strong>g documents<br />
• Impact on report<strong>in</strong>g<br />

The EU <strong>VAT</strong> Package implementation <strong>in</strong> a highly customised<br />
<strong>SAP</strong> environment<br />
Most companies left the <strong>VAT</strong> Package changes to the<br />
last m<strong>in</strong>ute. With <strong>SAP</strong> unsure of how the Package would<br />
be chang<strong>in</strong>g the system <strong>in</strong> 2010, how realistic was it for<br />
mult<strong>in</strong>ationals to expect complete read<strong>in</strong>ess for January 1st?<br />
In this frank and fasc<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g presentation, Michael will be talk<strong>in</strong>g<br />
about how DuPont has been deeply <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> the <strong>SAP</strong><br />
changes across its global mult<strong>in</strong>ational processes. In particular<br />
we will be exam<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g:<br />
• How the <strong>VAT</strong> Package’s impact on <strong>SAP</strong> was left until<br />
October 2009 to be fully communicated and understood<br />
• Which project approach was followed for ensur<strong>in</strong>g correct<br />
and on time implementation of the legal requirements <strong>in</strong> <strong>SAP</strong><br />
• The system changes that were understood and those that<br />
sat <strong>in</strong> grey areas<br />
• How technical and bus<strong>in</strong>ess groups responded to each other<br />
and the change<br />
• The challenges we faced and the benefits we achieved<br />

14.15 How to successfully manage complex <strong>VAT</strong> structures and supply cha<strong>in</strong>s <strong>in</strong> <strong>SAP</strong> - A case study<br />
Complex <strong>VAT</strong> structures and supply cha<strong>in</strong>s are a common feature <strong>in</strong> mult<strong>in</strong>ational bus<strong>in</strong>esses such as Kraft. Throw <strong>in</strong> a<br />
corporate restructur<strong>in</strong>g project and you create a tax manager’s nightmare. In this excellent session, hear how Stefan<br />
Kuhen tackled this dilemma, identify<strong>in</strong>g compliance risk associated with standard <strong>SAP</strong> functionality and how he<br />
worked around this to achieve compliance across his <strong>SAP</strong> determ<strong>in</strong>ation and bill<strong>in</strong>g document rout<strong>in</strong>es. The result of<br />
his and his team’s efforts helped improve <strong>VAT</strong> compliance and ga<strong>in</strong> further trust from the tax adm<strong>in</strong>istration.<br />
In particular the session will be exam<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g:<br />
• Why ‘out of the box’ <strong>SAP</strong> cannot cater for bus<strong>in</strong>ess complexity • Our optimal approach and why this works<br />
• <strong>VAT</strong> compliance risk associated with complexity • Results and benefits for Kraft<br />
and corporate restructur<strong>in</strong>g<br />

This <strong>in</strong>sightful session, opened by Paul Quigley, will<br />
be exam<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g specific <strong>VAT</strong> issues which are affect<strong>in</strong>g<br />
bus<strong>in</strong>esses today, <strong>in</strong> particular the importance of correctly<br />

warranties<br />
At Cont<strong>in</strong>ental, the company’s bus<strong>in</strong>ess model means that<br />
their supply cha<strong>in</strong> is impacted with various regulations which<br />
are deeply complex and uncommon <strong>in</strong> their treatment from one<br />
country to the next. The lack of harmonisation across Europe<br />
has implications, not just <strong>in</strong> the <strong>VAT</strong> and <strong>SAP</strong> operations, but<br />
also <strong>in</strong> Procurement and F<strong>in</strong>ance. In this fasc<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g session<br />
which closes off this stream, Thomas Lang will be exam<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g:<br />
• How to handle deliveries elegantly across Europe<br />
• How to set up your <strong>VAT</strong> to help Procurement negotiate<br />

This Virtual Board is an excellent<br />
opportunity for you to br<strong>in</strong>g your<br />
burn<strong>in</strong>g issue concern<strong>in</strong>g complex <strong>VAT</strong><br />
and <strong>SAP</strong> to the table and have your peers<br />
help you unpick the problem and f<strong>in</strong>d a very effective<br />
solution. You are <strong>in</strong>vited to br<strong>in</strong>g your one burn<strong>in</strong>g issue<br />
with you and present this to the ‘board’. This will then be<br />
exam<strong>in</strong>ed and you’ll leave this session with all the answers<br />
you’ve been seek<strong>in</strong>g. Our Virtual Board model is an<br />
excellent tool to empower you to make the right decisions<br />
when you return to the office. The results of this session<br />
will significantly impact your performance.<br />
What will you take back to the office?<br />
So many mult<strong>in</strong>ationals <strong>in</strong> Europe runn<strong>in</strong>g off <strong>SAP</strong> are be<strong>in</strong>g h<strong>in</strong>dered because <strong>VAT</strong> and <strong>SAP</strong> are not as synchronised as they<br />
should be. This Masterclass will leave you tooled up on how to best blend the two groups to enable you to return to the office<br />
with a clear plan on how to align these two functions and significantly improve your compliance results.<br />
