Senior Inference Engineer - AI

Medius has integrated Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE indirect tax determination into its accounts payable automation platform, enabling businesses to verify US sales and use tax on invoices before they post to ERP systems. The integration automatically recalculates vendor-charged tax against Thomson Reuters' determination engine, flagging overcharges and undercharges during the approval workflow. The solution addresses challenges finance teams face across thousands of US tax jurisdictions, where incorrect vendor-charged tax can lead to overpayment or missed use-tax obligations. Each invoice is verified line by line and jurisdiction by jurisdiction against current tax rates. The tax integration forms part of a broader partnership between Medius and Thomson Reuters that includes e-invoicing and compliance through ONESOURCE Pagero. The companies have nearly 200 mutual customers since partnering in 2021. Medius plans additional tax-engine partner integrations following this initial Thomson Reuters launch.

Emma King promoted to Manager, Executive and Event Communications at Thomson Reuters. Emma King has taken on a new role at Thomson Reuters as Manager, Executive and Event Communications, expanding her responsibilities within the company's communications function. She previously worked as Manager, Segment Communications at Thomson Reuters, where her work included supporting internal communications for the company's Tax, Audit & Accounting segment. Her responsibilities have included communications around conferences, sales meetings, customer stories, and internal initiatives. Her move into executive and event communications comes as companies continue to place greater emphasis on how leadership messaging, employee communications, and industry events connect with broader business priorities. Executive communications has become an increasingly important part of corporate communications as senior leaders communicate with employees, customers, partners, and other stakeholders across multiple channels. Events also provide organizations with opportunities to bring together these audiences while reinforcing key business messages. For Thomson Reuters, the role places King closer to communications involving senior leadership and events, adding another dimension to her existing experience within the company's communications organization. King has a background in journalism and communications, and has previously worked across public affairs and communications roles. She also has experience creating social media content, writing stories, and supporting communications in fast-changing environments. The appointment reflects the broader evolution of corporate communications, where teams are increasingly expected to coordinate executive messaging, internal engagement, events, digital content, and stakeholder communications as part of a connected communications strategy.

INTERPOL Law and Practice: A new book from the co-founders of IHR Advisors. Followers of IHR Advisors will be very familiar with the pattern. A dissident is stopped at an airport on a warrant issued by the government she fled. A businessman finds his accounts frozen years after a better-connected rival took over his company in murky circumstances. Much of its work at IHR Advisors and Red Notice Monitor exists because these stories keep coming and also because the system that produces them remains poorly understood. In an attempt to demystify the system, International Human Rights Advisors LLP has written a book. INTERPOL Law and Practice will be published by Thomson Reuters on 23 September 2026. It runs from the organisation's history and structure, through the substantive law applied by the Commission for the Control of Interpol's Files (CCF), to the mechanics of bringing a case before it. Extradition, asylum and reform each have a chapter of their own. The organisation the book describes is not the one most people imagine. Interpol has no agents and makes no arrests. It is an information exchange connecting 196 member countries, whose databases are searched some 22 million times a day. Its power lies in what it circulates: a Red Notice published in Lyon can close borders and bank accounts on the other side of the world within hours. The practical core of the book is a long chapter organised around the questions clients and practitioners ask in practice. How do you find out whether a notice exists? Should you travel in the meantime? What does an application to the CCF involve, how long does it really take, and what happens when the answer is no? The authors answer from their own case files and from anonymised CCF decisions, and the appendices reproduce the key legal texts alongside model application documents. The stance will be familiar to anyone who reads this site. As International Human Rights Advisors LLP has said on many occasions, International Human Rights Advisors LLP want to be a critical friend to Interpol and an advocate for those subject to improper Red Notices. Police cooperation across borders is incredibly important and borders should not give refuge for serious criminals. The system is far from perfect, and anyone who's touched by it knows that notices are relatively easy to issue but take years to delete. Over the coming weeks International Human Rights Advisors LLP will publish a short series drawing on the book: the numbers behind the growth of the notice system, the questions clients ask most often, the test Interpol applies to political cases, the position of refugees, and the case for reform.
