Tax data analyses and forensics

Digital security for tax & compliance

Digital business models, decentralised financial structures, networked systems and increasing ESG obligations are significantly increasing the pressure on tax, legal and compliance functions. Regulatory requirements are becoming more complex, data volumes are growing and risks are increasingly arising in real time.

We use AI-enabled data analyses and forensic methods to identify tax and regulatory risks at an early stage. We create transparency in complex data situations, ensure audit compliance – for example in connection with Pillar 2/GloBE, MiCA and CSRD/ESRS – and support robust decisions. Our approaches range from continuous real-time monitoring to structured risk analyses and court-proof reports. The result is reduced uncertainty, faster decision making and measurable compliance. At the same time, we enable scalable, technology-based processes that can be seamlessly integrated into existing tax and compliance structures.

As an advisory firm for tax data analyses and forensics in the DACH region, we combine technological expertise with a deep understanding of tax and regulatory requirements. Our range of services includes crypto forensics, real-time risk modelling, ESG-related tax reports and data-based audits in the context of transactions and M&A – precisely tailored to the requirements of CFOs, tax, legal and compliance.

Our advisory services

AI-enabled blockchain & crypto forensics (groups)

We analyse complex crypto ecosystems using forensic methods and AI: from decentralised finance (DeFi) protocols (DEX, lending, staking) to CEX off/on ramps and corporate treasury wallets. Using wallet clustering, on-chain/off-chain data fusion and anomaly detection, we reconstruct transaction chains, uncover tax and sanction risks and deliver verifiable reports for tax audits, internal audits and litigation. Regulatory requirements such as MiCA, OECD CARF and FATF Travel Rule are translated into governance, processes and controls.

Benefit: Rapid risk transparency, protection against reputational damage, reliable basis for decision-making.

Deliverables: Forensics report incl. visualisations, evidence packages, policy and control framework, treasury crypto guidelines.

Tech/methodology: Chain analytics, graph/network analyses, KYT/AML, data pipeline in data lake/BI.

Real-time tax risk analytics & predictive compliance

We build early warning systems for tax departments that analyse transaction flows from ERP, payment, POS and subledgers in near real time. AI models recognise anomalies (e.g. VAT/WHT misclassifications, booking logic, cut-off), estimate tax audit probabilities and continuously monitor transfer prices. Dashboards prioritise findings according to materiality and provide audit trails for audit-proof remedies. Integration in Continuous Controls Monitoring, Pillar 2/GloBE data management and documentation processes included.

Benefit: More favourable end-of-year corrections, predictable compliance, better cash and risk management.

Deliverables: Use case catalogue, ML models, KPI/alert dashboards, control catalogue, operating model and playbooks.

Tech/methodology: Streaming/ETL, feature store, ML scoring, Benford/network/outlier analyses, API connection to ERP/tax tools.

Digital tax transformation for Industry 4.0 and ESG

We link IoT, production and ESG data with tax processes and reports: CO₂ pricing flows consistently into transfer pricing and calculations; CSRD/ESRS-relevant tax KPIs (e.g. ETR, environmental levies, energy taxes) are automatically collected, checked and disclosed. Data quality, tax controls and end-to-end processes are anchored in a scalable tax digital roadmap – from data model and governance to workflows and audit readiness.

Benefit: Audit-proof sustainability reports, harmonised TP logic, lower compliance costs.

Deliverables: Target architecture & roadmap, data model (tax/ESG), automated reports, control framework, TP policy addendum for CO₂.

Tech/methodology: Data Lakehouse, ESG data interfaces, rules engines, workflow/approval, BI dashboards, documentation (SoD/SoX).
