By Marc Seewald, Senior Director, Product Management, Oracle EPM Cloud Corporate taxation, and in particular transfer pricing, continues to see a level of scrutiny that that was unheard of even five years ago. Last year’s $14.5 billion dollar fine on Apple by the EU shows that the scrutiny on tax strategy (and corporate tax reporting) can materially impact the business. Furthermore, the raid on Caterpillar’s corporate office related to a tax dispute should have sent shivers...

Funny thing about language… it’s always changing and evolving, even when it comes to centuries-old fields like accounting.

Every month, it’s a rush job. The financial close often requires hundreds—even thousands—of tasks, executed by scores of people working across the business. Then, there’s the double-checking and rework, with the potential for mistakes growing every time someone touches the data. Sound familiar? In my work with companies large and small, I often see fragmented processes with manual interventions and disconnected spreadsheets. There is often a lack of clarity as to which are...
