The Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) has announced that it has appointed ASG Group, an IT business solutions provider, to provide it with an all cloud solution. TPB Secretary Mark Maskell said the Board is one of the first Australian Government agencies to use an all cloud-based solution. Mr Maskell said the technology will enable it to be “more agile and efficient which will ultimately benefit the tax practitioners we regulate”. He said this change will mark the start of a physical and logical separation of systems and services from those of the Tax Office. The technology will allow TPB staff and Board members to access TPB information from any device remotely and securely.
