SUMMARY:DEMPE Turns Ten (and Is an Insufferable Pre-teen)
DESCRIPTION:Webcast overview\n\n\n\nDEMPE has been a big part of the global transfer pricing landscape for just over a decade.  Even though DEMPE is relevant for most taxpayers\, it remains a mystery after 10 years– with numerous unknowns\, a myriad of\, sometimes wildly\, different perspectives and increasing challenges for taxpayers to effectively manage DEMPE related risk.  KPMG LLP (KPMG) is pleased to invite you to a one-hour TaxWatch Webcast that will explore the evolution of DEMPE and many of the more important (and often controversial) ways to interpret these rules and apply them in your business.The panel will bring varied perspectives on these issues – from an OECD Senior Transfer Pricing Advisor to a law school professor to the views from within the Big 4\, and will discuss topics including following: \n\n\n\n\nWhere does DEMPE actually “fit” into the risk control framework and the overall determination of a transfer price?\n\n\n\nIn situations where some form of a profit split pricing method is appropriate\, what is the right way to consider DEMPE?\n\n\n\nWhat is the “appropriate remuneration” owed to non-IP owners who perform DEMPE functions?\n\n\n\nHow do we reconcile DEMPE with real world economic value?\n\n\n\nIs DEMPE (and particularly the headcount-based profit split theory) accelerating a move to global formulary apportionment?\n\n\n\nIn the context of audits\, what are tax authorities getting right – and what are they getting wrong?\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\nAttendees of this webcast will be better able to identify where DEMPE principles fit within the risk control framework and the overall determination of a transfer price\, and analyze strategies to reconcile the theoretical application of DEMPE with real-world economic value and business realities. \n\n\n\nProgram Specifications \n\n\n\nEstimated CPE credit: This program is worth approximately 1 CPE credit.NASBA Delivery Method: Group Internet-BasedTarget Audience: This webcast will be of significant interest to tax leaders with a focus on international tax\, transfer pricing\, and valuation decisions.Field(s) of Study: Taxes – 81The final CPE and Field of Study will be confirmed after delivery of the program.Prerequisites: There are no prerequisite requirements for this course.Advance Preparation: There are no advanced preparation requirements for this course.Program Knowledge Level: Intermediate \n\n\n\nPolicies & Questions \n\n\n\nRefund/cancellation policy: This program is offered free of charge.

SUMMARY:Due Diligence Reimagined: How AI Is Reshaping Valuations and Deal Risk
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally changing how organizations create value and how investors\, boards and deal teams must assess it. Traditional due diligence approaches that focus primarily on financials\, operations and technology are no longer sufficient to understand the true value\, scalability and risk profile of an AI-enabled business. \n\n\n\nThis one-hour webinar examines how AI maturity\, disruption risk and scalability are now critical drivers of valuation. Drawing from Protiviti’s insights paper  Due Diligence Reimagined: AI’s Impact on Valuations\, the session introduces a structured\, AI-focused due diligence framework and discusses how private equity firms\, corporate-development teams\, and boards can avoid overpaying for assets vulnerable to AI-driven disruption.    \n\n\n\nParticipants will leave with practical actions they can apply immediately to strengthen diligence\, governance\, and valuation decisions in an AI-driven market.    \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\nUpon completion of this program\, participants will be able to:  \n\n\n\n\nIdentify how AI maturity\, scalability\, and disruption risk impact enterprise valuations and why traditional due diligence approaches may not adequately capture these risks. \n\n\n\nDescribe the key components of an AI-focused due diligence framework\, including evaluating current AI capabilities versus future readiness and competitive exposure.\n\n\n\nAssess how AI-driven disruption can erode revenue\, compress margins\, or undermine existing business models\, creating valuation and investment risk. \n\n\n\nApply practical actions that boards\, investors and deal teams can take to integrate AI considerations into diligence\, valuation and governance decision-making. \n\n\n\n\nCPE: 1 credit available for live attendance \n\n\n\n*CPE for qualifying live attendees only. You must answer 3 of the 4 poll questions and be in attendance for a minimum of 50 minutes during the live event. CPE will be e-mailed to qualifying attendees within 60 days of the live event.

SUMMARY:Real-World E-Discovery Insights Into Modern Investigations
DESCRIPTION:E‑discovery has become increasingly complex as data volumes grow and information sources expand beyond traditional document repositories. For attorneys managing investigations\, disputes\, and discovery obligations\, the challenge is not just collecting data but understanding what it reveals and how it connects. During the first installment of our Forensics Institute\, we’ll examine how e‑discovery can be strengthened by incorporating open‑source intelligence (OSINT) and forensic data analytics. Through practical examples and a forensic intelligence framework\, our presenters will explore how relationship mapping\, data mining\, and publicly available information can provide additional context\, support fact development\, and enhance discovery strategy\, and how supplementing those efforts with practical artificial intelligence approaches can lead to greater efficiencies. \n\n\n\nDesigned for small to midsize law firms\, this session will focus on proportionate\, defensible strategies for discovery that balance insight\, efficiency\, and cost. In addition\, learn how an integrated forensic approach can reveal relationships\, identify risks\, and tackle modern discovery challenges\, without relying on enterprise-level platforms. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\nUpon completion of this program\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nExplain how e‑discovery fits within a broader forensic intelligence framework and why integration with OSINT and analytics matters.\n\n\n\nIdentify practical ways OSINT and relationship mapping can enhance traditional e‑discovery efforts\, and how artificial intelligence (AI) can help streamline the process.\n\n\n\nRecognize how an integrated approach can help law firms manage discovery more efficiently while gaining deeper investigative insights.\n\n\n\n\nCPE Information\n\n\n\n1.00 CPE Credit(s) (pending approval)\n\n\n\n1 CPE credit (pending approval) in the Specialized Knowledge field of study may be awarded upon verification of participant attendance\, during live broadcast. \n\n\n\nIf you have concerns or would like information regarding program cancellation policies or CPE credit\, contact us at cpecompliance@us.forvismazars.com.

SUMMARY:California Climate Compliance: A Practical Path to SB 253 Implementation
DESCRIPTION:About this Event:\n\n\n\nCalifornia’s climate disclosure requirements are no longer theoretical. With the August 1 emissions reporting deadline approaching for California’s Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (SB 253)\, many organizations—particularly those without dedicated sustainability teams—are facing compressed timelines\, fragmented data\, and increasing pressure to deliver audit-ready disclosures. \n\n\n\nFor teams that have not yet implemented a solution\, the challenge is not just compliance—it’s setting a foundation that is credible\, defensible\, and achievable within the time remaining. \n\n\n\nThis session will provide a clear\, practical path forward. \n\n\n\nJoin Workiva for a discussion focused on how organizations can move from delayed preparation to a working SB 253 implementation in a matter of weeks—not months or years. We will walk through what actually needs to happen in year one\, how to approach implementation without requiring perfection\, and how to establish a foundation that can scale over time. \n\n\n\nYou’ll gain a realistic view of what a compressed implementation timeline looks like\, including how to define boundaries\, structure data collection\, and transform processes\, and prepare for assurance. The session will also include examples from organizations currently navigating SB 253 and highlight why they acted\, where they faced challenges\, and how they are progressing toward compliance. \n\n\n\nIf your organization still relies on spreadsheets\, unclear ownership\, or incomplete data\, this session will help you understand what to prioritize now to reduce reputational risk for non disclosure. \n\n\n\nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \n\n\n\nWho should attendFinance\, controllership\, compliance\, legal\, and internal audit leaders responsible for preparing their organization for California SB 253 emissions disclosure\, especially those with lean sustainability teams. \n\n\n\nThis session is designed for organizations that: \n\n\n\n\nHave not yet implemented a solution for SB 253\n\n\n\nAre working with limited internal resources and tight timelines\n\n\n\nNeed a practical\, defensible path to compliance\, quickly\n\n\n\n\nAfter completing this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\nRecognize common risks and challenges organizations face when starting late—and how to mitigate them to support audit-ready disclosures. \n\n\n\nIdentify the critical steps required to initiate an SB 253 implementation within a compressed timeline\, including key year-one priorities. \n\n\n\nExplain how a phased\, multi-year approach to climate disclosure enables organizations to establish a defensible foundation without requiring complete data maturity upfront. \n\n\n\nEvaluate the components of an effective compressed implementation plan\, including  boundary setting\, data collection and transformation\, methodology development\, and process documentation.

SUMMARY:Strengthening IT and cyber resilience for modern enterprises
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\nOrganisations today operate in an environment defined by deep digital dependency\, tightly interconnected systems\, and an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape. High‑impact disruptions — from ransomware attacks and cloud service outages to failures across critical third‑party supply chains — continue to expose weaknesses across technology\, processes\, and governance. At the same time\, regulatory expectations such as Provision 29\, DORA\, NIS2 and SS6/24 are raising the bar\, requiring organisations to demonstrate their ability to anticipate\, withstand\, recover from\, and adapt to disruption. \n\n\n\nThis session will demystify what modern IT and cyber resilience truly entails.

SUMMARY:The CFO's Cash Modeling Playbook: Moving from Static Forecasts to AI-Powered Scenario Planning
DESCRIPTION:For most finance leaders\, cash flow forecasting is a necessary frustration. Static models\, manual spreadsheets\, and point-in-time snapshots become outdated the moment they’re built. In a macro environment defined by volatility in interest rates\, supply chain uncertainty\, and constant organizational change\, CFOs need more than a forecast. They need a modeling workbench. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, BC Krishna will share how AI is fundamentally changing how mid-market finance leaders plan and act on cash – moving from passive prediction to dynamic\, scenario-based modeling. \n\n\n\nAttendees will take away:1.    Why traditional cash forecasting fails CFOs when it matters most – and what the underlying structural problem is2.    How AI-powered scenario modeling (workforce changes\, supplier disruptions\, macro shifts) gives finance leaders an active planning edge3.    The shift from static\, read-only forecasts to a malleable\, real-time cash modeling workbench4.    A practical framework for evaluating your organization’s cash visibility maturity – and where to start \n\n\n\nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit.
