  • US Audit Board's Future Depends on Trump, GOP Moves
    Feb 26 2025
    The US audit board has already been forced to revise its priorities as the Trump administration begins to reshape the federal government. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board pulled an auditor disclosure rule that was set for SEC approval earlier this month. The audit board opted to delay finalizing another project that would expand how auditors consider the financial impact of their clients’ law violations days after Donald Trump's November election win. But deeper changes might be coming to the Enron-era regulator, which Congress designed to be an auditor watchdog. Republicans previously targeted the PCAOB through legislation and budget proposals that would have eliminated the independent regulator. Project 2025, considered a playbook for the second Trump administration, similarly called for the SEC to take over the board’s work. Any major changes in board leadership could usher in the third swing in priorities at the regulator since 2017. Ally Zimmerman is an associate professor of business administration at Florida State University and a former fellow at both the PCAOB and Securities and Exchange Commission, which oversees the board’s work. In this episode of Talking Tax, Zimmerman spoke with Bloomberg Tax reporter Amanda Iacone about the PCAOB's future and what auditors and the investors who depend on their work can expect in the coming months.

  • How Budget Reconciliation Works for Tax Cut Extensions
    Feb 19 2025
    Republicans in Congress have been working to find consensus to cement tax code changes made in President Donald Trump’s first presidency and jump-start his new administration using the budget reconciliation process. The maneuver allows Republicans with full control of Washington to avoid the Senate’s filibuster, so they can effectively move legislation without Democrats’ support. But the process is complicated and comes with many potential pitfalls. The process will be made all the more difficult for congressional GOP leadership, which must deal with the pressures of Trump's demands for tax cuts while guiding its fractious conference. House GOP lawmakers in particular will need near-uniform consensus because of its thin majority. Sarah Binder is a senior fellow in governance studies at Brookings and a professor of political science at George Washington University. She specializes in Congress and legislative politics as well as Congress’s relationship with the Federal Reserve. On today’s Talking Tax, Binder walks Bloomberg Tax reporter Chris Cioffi through the history of reconciliation since it was created in the 1970s and what lawmakers can and can't enact through the process.

  • Companies Mull Gaps in Brazil's Transfer Pricing Rules
    Feb 12 2025
    Brazilian taxpayers and practitioners continue to clamor for more guidance on the country's new transfer pricing regime implemented last year. The country switched from a mathematical model to an arm's-length principle for transfer pricing last year, bringing it in line with global standards. That pivot left a lot of questions for the Receita Federal, the country’s revenue authority, to answer through guidance, and it's been working to issue rules ever since. Most recently, Brazil issued instructions requiring extensive reporting and documentation of transactions involving commodities and how companies calculate their transfer pricing positions. Transfer pricing involves valuation of transactions between entities within a corporate group. Intragroup transactions must be conducted at arm’s length—priced similarly to transactions between unrelated companies. The country’s auditors are gearing up to enforce Brazil's new rules, sparking some concerns among practitioners that many new auditors will be learning on the job and that these early examinations won’t go smoothly. RSM US senior tax manager Nina Baumbach spoke with reporter Caleb Harshberger about the changes and what they mean for companies. She said companies need more guidance and clarity from the government on intangibles and other topics. Do you have feedback on this episode of Talking Tax?
