Choose the right perspective
Match the person's scope to yours, since a domestic provision for one entity differs from a global provision across many jurisdictions. Also ask whether the person owned the provision, reviewed it or prepared parts of it, because each view answers different questions about process and controls.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you organize the quarterly provision close, and which steps cause the most delays?
- 02How do you handle the return-to-provision true-up and keep deferred tax balances reconciled?
- 03Which controls and documentation do auditors focus on most when they review the tax provision?
