SUMMARY:2026 Tax Strategist Cross-Border Webcast: Spring Planning Session
DESCRIPTION:The OECD’s January 5 guidance introduces a “side-by-side” arrangement that may effectively exclude many U.S.-parented multinationals from most Pillar Two (GloBE) rules beginning in 2026—yet significant compliance and reporting obligations remain for 2024–2025 and in any jurisdictions with a Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (QDMTT). \n\n\n\nJoin BDO for a timely webcast to break down what’s changing\, what still applies\, and how the new safe harbors\, including simplified effective tax rate (ETR)\, substance-based tax incentive\, and UPE safe harbors\, may reduce burden and preserve incentives—along with practical considerations for implementation\, readiness\, and financial statement and disclosure impacts. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n\nExamine how the side-by-side approach may affect U.S.-parented groups\, and why Pillar Two workstreams still matter for 2024–2025 and QDMTT jurisdictions.\n\n\n\nIdentify practical implications of the simplified ETR safe harbor\, SBTI safe harbor\, and the UPE safe harbor.\n\n\n\nDescribe key readiness steps\, timeline considerations and U.S. GAAP enactment\, MD&A\, and risk factor considerations.\n\n\n\n\nCPE Information\n\n\n\nDelivery: Group Internet Based \n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None \n\n\n\nAdvanced Prep: None \n\n\n\nProgram Level: Basic \n\n\n\nCost: There is no fee to attend this session \n\n\n\nInformation about CPE Eligibility\n\n\n\nTo receive CPE credit for participation in a BDO webcast program\, you must respond to the occasional polls that appear throughout the program and be in attendance for a minimum of 50 minutes.

SUMMARY:AI-Powered Performance Planning: Eliminating Uncertainty in Financial Planning with AI
DESCRIPTION:Traditional forecasts fail because they rely solely on historical financial trends and disconnected data. While drilling into operations for early indicators is expensive and time-consuming\, modern business demands real-time adaptation. \n\n\n\nAI built from the ground up for financial intelligence—not just bolted on—is the catalyst for this transformation. Join us to see how an AI-native platform revolutionizes your financial processes\, moving beyond manual consolidation and generic AI tools that lack enterprise security. We’ll demonstrate how purpose-built AI empowers your team to move from endless email chains to automated\, accountable workflows. \n\n\n\nThis session explores how AI-powered financial planning turns static models into dynamic\, weekly re-forecasts\, giving you the confidence to drive organizational performance and protect board credibility. \n\n\n\nWhat You’ll See: \n\n\n\n\nThe Financial Intelligence Layer: How an AI-native architecture provides the “why” behind numbers in real-time with explainable\, board-ready models.\n\n\n\nPredictive Forecasting & Connected Revenue: How to move beyond historical trends by natively connecting live CRM data to your financial plan for a single source of truth.\n\n\n\nAnomaly Detection as an Automated Watchdog: How AI sifts through vast datasets to proactively identify revenue risks or hidden opportunities before they impact the bottom line.\n\n\n\nAI Finance Assistant: A “Google for finance data” that allows anyone to find answers in plain language without compromising enterprise-grade security or compliance.\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit.
