Adam Cohen, executive director of tax at W.P. Carey Inc. (NYSE: WPC), joined REIT.com for a video interview during REITWise 2015: NAREIT’s Law, Accounting and Finance Conference held in Phoenix.
Cohen noted that one of the main challenges facing REIT tax directors concerns resource constraints.
“There are a lot of demands placed on the tax department, and we’re becoming increasingly integrated with the accounting and finance functions, but we don’t have enough people,” he said.
