Tax Governance and Transparency

Trust amid transformation

Tax plays a vital role in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies, as investors, standard-setters, and now regulators seek more tax governance and transparency disclosures. Building trust in this evolving environment demands not only data that informs, but a story that inspires.

Standard setters

Tax governance and transparency standards—including GRI207 and the World Economic Forum’s ESG metrics—demand more formal tax governance, a detailed tax narrative, and disclosure of jurisdictional tax data.

Regulators

Public country-by-country tax reporting requirements will start imminently in EU with other jurisdictions including Australia looking to mandate more extensive regimes. In the US, Dodd-Frank is an SEC rule mandating tax disclosures for extractive companies. FASB and SEC are also looking at tax disclosures and country-by-country analyses.
