Tax Accounting and Risk Advisory Services

Today’s business and tax environment is increasingly complex, there are more and more demands for transparency, tax departments are under pressure to be more effective and highly qualified professionals can be hard to obtain.

To help you respond to these demands, we provide assistance in three key areas:

  • Tax accounting: supporting quarterly and annual tax provision calculations, validating tax balance sheet accounts and implementing new accounting standards under IFRS and/or local GAAP
  • Tax function performance: improving operating strategy and organization design, tax process and controls, and data and systems effectiveness
  • Tax risk: identifying and prioritizing key risks and assisting with controls monitoring and remediation

The scope and nature of our services may differ depending on whether you are an auditor non-audit client. What’s consistent is the high-quality service our professionals provide to address your unique needs, throughout the entire tax life cycle of planning, provision, compliance and working with the tax authorities.

Our talented people, consistent global methodologies and tools and unwavering commitment to quality service will help you build strong compliance and reporting foundations, sustainable organizational strategies and effective risk management protocols, helping your business achieve its potential. It’s how Ernst & Young makes a difference.

IRS proposes disclosure of uncertain tax positions

A new proposal to require certain business taxpayers to disclose uncertain tax positions at the time they file their returns has been announced by the IRS. On this page you can access a range of materials from Ernst & Young. Be sure to check back regularly on this developing issue.

Searching for clarity in Uncertain Tax Positions: financial reporting perspectives

Our paper on uncertain tax positions (UTPs) under IFRS (pdf, 684.1kb) provides insights into practices that have developed in the financial reporting and disclosure of UTPs, given the lack of direct guidance IAS 12 (Income Taxes) has in this area. It also discusses potential future developments around this hot topic.

Tax documentation goes global

In an era of globally integrated business, a comprehensive tax documentation and retention policy is increasingly vital for multinational organizations. We examine the rules in force in 16 countries around the world and sets out what we believe good tax documentation should cover. Download "Tax documentation goes global" (pdf, 731kb).

Analysis of the IAS 12 exposure draft

The IASB has published the IAS 12 exposure draft. Tax departments will need to quickly understand the differences between it and the current IAS 12, and understand the potential impact it will have across the spectrum of the tax life cycle - tax planning, provision, compliance, and controversy. In addition, tax departments need to assess the potential impact on their people, process and technology/data gathering systems.
