Executive Board
The Executive Board is in charge of the day to day work of CFE Tax Advisers Europe and reports to the General Assembly. The Board monitors developments in taxation law and the profession within Europe, and devises and manages CFE’s work streams arising from these issues. Work is managed through four committees: the Fiscal Committee, the Professional Affairs Committee, the Tax Technology Committee and the New Tax Professionals Ad Hoc Committee. Each committee is chaired by a member of the Board. Delegates from each committee also form various working groups and subcommittees focussed on specific or time-sensitive issues that necessitate specialist input.
