Illustrative workflow matter

OECD Pillar Two Watch-Item Workflow.

A sample Pillar Two workflow showing how jurisdictional exposure files, safe harbor data, enactment status, and provision model input requests can be organized for professional review.

Professional review required: Tax Accounting Intelligence Hub provides structured workflows, documentation support, and proof-point tools for tax and accounting teams. Outputs are designed to support professional analysis and review, and do not replace client-specific tax, accounting, or legal judgment.
What this page shows

What this page shows

Shows factual workflow information for one illustrative matter, including status, source capture, evidence requests, review routing, and open review items.

Why it matters

Helps reviewers inspect a matter record before opening the evidence package or aggregate workflow views.

What it does not do

Does not provide tax advice, accounting advice, materiality determinations, disclosure outcomes, audit committee recommendations, or final ASC 740 conclusions.

Illustrative demo item

State apportionment law change workflow matter

This illustrative workflow shows how factual tax development information may be captured, classified, routed, and organized for professional review. It does not represent tax advice, does not represent accounting advice, and does not represent materiality determinations, disclosure conclusions, Pillar Two tax liability, deferred tax consequences, or a final ASC 740 conclusion.

Background

Matter context for reviewer orientation.

This section adds factual context and close-process relevance without reaching a professional conclusion.

Background

The sample matter tracks a global minimum tax development through jurisdictional exposure inventory, local enactment tracking, safe harbor data requests, CbCR data dependency, and provision input readiness.

Why this matters for tax accounting workflow

Pillar Two workflows can involve multiple jurisdictions, local-country enactment status, CbCR data, safe harbor information, cash tax forecast dependency, and high-complexity data ownership. The workflow organizes those facts for professional review without determining Pillar Two liability or accounting treatment.

Close-process relevance

Close-process relevance centers on current tax provision input requests, cash tax forecast dependency, jurisdictional owner responses, and GloBE information return readiness as factual tracking items before provision model inputs are locked.

Data inputs needed

Requested factual inputs for review workflow support.

These inputs are organized for professional review and remain not concluded.

Factual input requested

Jurisdictional exposure inventory by legal entity, country, and data owner

Evidence requests

Evidence requested for professional review.

Evidence requests connect source examples, data dependencies, and open review items.

Jurisdictional exposure inventory with entity mapping and owner notes

Evidence requested

Safe harbor support package, CbCR data source file, and transitional rule data

Reviewer questions

Professional judgment areas and review questions.

Questions identify what reviewers may need to evaluate; they do not provide advice or outcomes.

Requires professional review

Which jurisdictions are in the jurisdictional exposure inventory and who owns the data?

Requires professional review

Which local enactment tracking items remain open for professional review?

Requires professional review

Are safe harbor and CbCR data dependencies complete enough for reviewer evaluation?

Requires professional review

Which high-complexity jurisdictions need management visibility as open review items?

Requires professional review

What current tax provision input request and cash tax forecast support remain pending?

Open items

Example open review items.

Open items remain routed for evidence collection and professional review.

Open review item

Open review item: complete jurisdictional exposure inventory and owner mapping

Open review item

Open review item: collect safe harbor and CbCR data support

Open review item

Open review item: update local enactment tracking for high-complexity jurisdictions

Open review item

Open review item: request current tax provision input and cash tax forecast support

Management visibility items

Factual status items for management visibility.

These items support visibility into workflow status and do not recommend treatment or conclusions.

Management visibility

High-complexity jurisdictions grouped by open evidence gaps

Management visibility

Safe harbor and CbCR data status visible as open review items

Management visibility

Current tax provision input request and cash tax forecast dependency tracked

Management visibility

GloBE information return readiness tracked as factual management visibility item

Control considerations

Review-control discipline for the matter.

Control considerations show source, evidence, owner, and boundary discipline.

Control boundary

Jurisdictional source captured before review routing

Control boundary

Safe harbor and CbCR evidence requests linked to source examples

Control boundary

Open items assigned to Global Tax and Tax Accounting / Controller reviewers

Control boundary

Non-conclusion boundary states Pillar Two liability and accounting treatment are not determined

Non-conclusion boundary note

The workflow organizes Pillar Two source references, jurisdictional data, evidence requests, and review routing; it does not determine Pillar Two tax liability, accounting treatment, materiality, disclosure outcomes, or a final ASC 740 conclusion.

Development Intake

Capture the factual source signal.

The workflow starts by preserving factual development details for review, without reaching a professional conclusion.

Intake

Jurisdiction intake

Potentially affected jurisdictions are identified and assigned to global tax owners for factual tracking.

Intake

Rule status tracking

Safe harbor data, transitional rule information, and local enactment status are collected for reviewer visibility.

Intake

Provision input request

Provision model input requests and open evidence gaps are routed to tax accounting and controller reviewers.

ASC 740 Relevance Triage

Apply relevance tags for professional review.

Tags organize review attention around possible factual impacts; they do not represent accounting conclusions or disclosure outcomes.

Relevance tag

Current tax

Tracks factual inputs that may be needed for current tax provision modeling.

Relevance tag

AETR

Flags forecast and jurisdictional assumptions for reviewer evaluation.

Relevance tag

Cash taxes paid

Organizes expected cash tax input requests and jurisdictional source support.

Relevance tag

Disclosure consideration

Tracks open facts and evidence requests for management and professional review.

Factual Impact Mapping

Map factual items to evidence needs.

Each row captures facts, evidence needs, and review status so management and professional reviewers can evaluate the matter.

Jurisdiction exposure Potentially affected jurisdictions require factual exposure tracking Jurisdiction list, entity mapping, local rule status, and owner notes Evidence collection
Safe harbor data Safe harbor and transitional rule data may affect input readiness Safe harbor calculations, source references, and transition data files Needs professional review
