Last month, GSEC partnered with the Georgia Department of Revenue to host an important industry session focused on the film incentive audit process. This session brought together tax and accounting professionals from across the film industry to share insights and discuss concerns about audit timing and procedures. It marked the first meeting of the subcommittee formed under GDOR’s Entertainment Advisory Council, tasked with recommending solutions to the department. A special thank you to State Revenue Commissioner Frank O'Connell and Deputy State Revenue Commissioner Chester Cook for attending and supporting this vital conversation. Together, we're working to ensure Georgia remains a top destination for film production! #gafilm #gafilmindustry
