SUMMARY:Construction audit fundamentals: Navigating today’s challenges

SUMMARY:International tax talk quarterly series with the EY Global Tax Desk Network - March 2026
DESCRIPTION:Public country-by-country reporting (Public CbCR) has moved from policy discussion to practical reality\, marking a significant shift in global tax transparency expectations. The first wave of the EU Public CbCR regime now applies to calendar-year multinational groups\, requiring publication of 2025 financial data in 2026. At the same time\, Australia’s Public CbCR rules are also in force\, applying to periods beginning July 1\, 2024\, with the inaugural public reports due by June 2026. With both regimes active\, multinational enterprises are already navigating new disclosure obligations\, evolving stakeholder expectations and emerging insights about how public reporting is interpreted across markets. \n\n\n\nBuilding on this context\, the webcast will take a deeper look at how the EU and Australia are applying the Public CbCR rules in practice and what this means for multinational groups preparing their first public disclosures. The session will highlight the key implementation issues already coming to light as organizations work through the operational and interpretive challenges of the new requirements\, including the practicalities of collecting\, verifying and presenting the mandated information. We will also discuss early lessons from preparatory efforts\, outline important considerations when assessing potential exemption pathways\, and examine how companies are interpreting varying regulatory language across jurisdictions in real-world scenarios. The discussion is designed to provide participants with clear insights and actionable guidance as the global transparency landscape shifts. \n\n\n\nPanelists \n\n\n\nJose Bustos\, Partner\, BEPS Desk Leader | New York\, International Tax and Transaction Services\, Ernst & Young LLP (US) \n\n\n\nThomas Ickeringill\, Partner | Australia\, Tax Controversy\, Ernst & Young (Australia) \n\n\n\nSam Lavender\, Partner | Australia\, Transfer Pricing Services\, Ernst & Young (Australia) \n\n\n\nRoberto Gutierrez\, BEPS Desk | New York\, International Tax and Transaction Services\, Ernst & Young LLP (US) \n\n\n\nMacarena Tello\, BEPS Desk | New York\, International Tax and Transaction Services\, Ernst & Young LLP (US) \n\n\n\nModerator \n\n\n\nNaomi Ross\, Principal\, Australian Tax Desk Leader | New York\, International Tax and Transaction Services\, Ernst & Young LLP (US) \n\n\n\nEY webcast managed and produced by Ernst & Young LLP’s Tax Technical Knowledge Services Group\, Washington\, DC: Lynn Fairfax \n\n\n\nCPE Information (for live events only)\n\n\n\nDelivery Method: Group Internet Based \n\n\n\nProgram Level: Basic \n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None \n\n\n\nAdvanced Preparation: None \n\n\n\nRefunds & Cancellations: This course is offered free of charge\, therefore there are no refunds given.

SUMMARY:Data-driven governance: Automating end-to-end issue management for executive oversight
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\n Many organizations struggle with reactive and siloed issue remediation\, which often results in a lack of centralized visibility and inconsistent data accuracy. This session focuses on the end-to-end automation of the issue management lifecycle using AuditBoard’s CrossComply module. We will explore how Collibra shifted from manual consolidation to a centralized “single source of truth\,” integrating automated workflows for issue identification\, action planning\, and progress tracking. A primary focus will be on the “cross-functional ripple effect\,” demonstrating how automated notifications and direct evidence uploads empower IT\, legal\, and finance teams to own their remediation data. Finally\, we will showcase how to translate this automated data into highly customized\, real-time dashboards that provide senior leadership with the strategic oversight and trend analysis needed to prioritize high-risk areas and drive informed decision-making. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\n Architect an automated lifecycle: Map the end-to-end transition from issue identification and gap analysis to automated remediation workflows within AuditBoard.\n\n\n\nDrive accountability through automation: Leverage automated notifications and direct access evidence portals to ensure businesswide ownership of remediation timelines and audit trails.\n\n\n\nDesign department-specific insights: Build customized\, on-demand reports that allow individual departments to manage their own open issues and overdue action plans independently.\n\n\n\nElevate the executive reporting suite: Utilize visual dashboards to present senior leadership with critical metrics\, including high-risk status\, remediation trends\, and recurring control deficiencies across the organization.\n\n\n\n\nCPE credit(s): 1 NASBA certified credit upon live viewing and participation. \n\n\n\nField of study: Management Services \n\n\n\nInstructional delivery method: Group Internet Based \n\n\n\nLevel: Basic \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: None \n\n\n\nAdvanced preparation: None  \n\n\n\n*Click here for more CPE information.
