Historically, many corporations have viewed tax compliance activity as a non-value-added process. This no longer has to be the case. The fundamental view of tax compliance activity can change if the information yielded can be converted into business intelligence. By using Executive Dashboard, Tax Series users can now translate their tax data into business intelligence.

By allowing users to transform the data collected for the tax compliance process into structured analytical information, corporate tax personnel are now capable of assessing tangible business intelligence to facilitate the business decision-making process. This will help create an efficient business intelligence environment to drive higher performance.

The following are examples of business intelligence that Tax Series users can produce:

• Global effective tax rate
• Global effective tax rate trend
• Global earnings trend
• Earnings trend by country
• Impact of exchange rate change on global earnings
• Top ten analysis
• Distribution target
• High effective tax rate
• Low effective tax rate
• Most PTI

Users can produce all of these examples from information that is a by-product of tax compliance (and provision). Because the data produced by tax compliance and provision is plentiful, so too are the possibilities within Executive Dashboard.

Production of this kind of business intelligence can only be achieved through Tax Series. It is possible because Tax Series is built on a single, integrated platform. By means of global data collection, we build tax calculations and produce multi-year repositories of enriched tax information. By producing the information in a synchronized easy-to-report-format on a Web-native platform, we can produce executive dashboard business intelligence that can be accessed anywhere in the world.
