A recent Accounting Today article cites the uneasiness of corporate tax leaders re: reputation risk.

Excerpts from the article:

• The company’s tax policy and principles are being enhanced with greater detail for clarity and transparency
• Communication of tax strategies to the Board is becoming a primary focus
• Tax controversy alignment with the Board is being communicated more frequently
• Increased objective to develop more co-operative working relationships with tax authorities
• Tax risk is an integral part of decision-making

As BEPS Actions are currently being transformed into final Guidelines, the subject of reputation risk would be a worthy topic of focus in the interim to be prepared for an uncertain, complex and disparate trend in the world of international tax.
