The Make or Buy Dilemma in Compliance

Accounting firms, whether small local practices or global enterprises, constantly face the challenge of addressing new tax and compliance regulations. The introduction of DAC7 in the EU has created significant pressure, requiring platforms to collect, verify, and report seller information, such as tax IDs and earnings, with strict accuracy. The penalties for non-compliance are steep, ranging into millions of euros.

In response, accounting firms must decide whether to build their own compliance solutions or partner with a specialised provider. The “make” option often seems appealing at first but is fraught with challenges:

• Cost Intensity: Developing in-house systems requires major investments in technology, infrastructure, and skilled personnel.

• Complexity: Navigating jurisdiction-specific regulations and maintaining compliance as they evolve can overwhelm internal resources.

• Time Constraints: Developing a solution from scratch delays the firm’s ability to offer timely services to clients, risking a competitive disadvantage.

• Lack of Scalability: Custom solutions may struggle to handle increasing data volumes or adapt to new regulations.
