  • Plan to Drop 10-Qs Threatens to Trip Up Analysts' AI Models

    Plan to Drop 10-Qs Threatens to Trip Up Analysts' AI Models
    Oct 29 2025
    A Trump administration push to reduce the frequency of corporate earnings reports risks hurting the accuracy of artificial intelligence-fueled models used by analysts, an accounting adviser said. Chief financial officers and other C-suite leaders would in turn need to address greater reputational risk if a plan to give public companies the option to file financial reports semiannually instead of quarterly advances, according to Steve Soter, vice president and industry principal at financial compliance platform Workiva. Companies prepare and submit quarterly reports, called Form 10-Qs, to the Securities and Exchange Commission's filing system in XBRL format, which makes the information more easily accessible and computer-readable, Soter said. Analysts' models consume this data to provide analysis and observations. Depriving investors and analysts' AI models of this information increases the risk of erroneous analysis and ensuing reputational damage, Soter said. On this episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax financial accounting reporter Jorja Siemons spoke with Soter about what steps C-suite leaders can take to mitigate data risks if the SEC reporting schedule shifts.

  • Treasury Is Working to Implement GOP Tax Law Amid Shutdown

    Treasury Is Working to Implement GOP Tax Law Amid Shutdown
    Oct 22 2025
    Despite the ongoing US government shutdown, many at the Treasury Department remain on the job working on guidance related to the July GOP tax law. Those at Treasury handling the international provisions used to be coworkers of Beth Bell, who became a principal at PwC’s National Tax Service in Washington less than a month ago. On this week's episode of Talking Tax, Bell sat down with Bloomberg Tax senior reporter Chris Cioffi to discuss US efforts to secure agreements to allow the US tax system to coexist with the Pillar Two project, and what might prompt Republicans in Congress to reintroduce what came to be known as the "revenge tax" when the law was debated. Bell has deep experience with multilateral tax negotiations and worked as a staffer in both the House and Senate, playing a role in major tax legislation that passed in both the Biden and Trump administrations.

  • Ireland Mulls Tax Options to Stay Competitive in Global Economy

    Ireland Mulls Tax Options to Stay Competitive in Global Economy
    Oct 16 2025
    Ireland has presented a frugal budget for 2026 in the face of uncertainties caused by President Donald Trump's tariff and tax policies. The 15% global minimum tax on corporations and Trump's threats to impose large tariffs on pharmaceutical companies—most of which are US companies headquartered in Ireland—have increased pressure on the country to find ways to remain competitive. With foreign-owned multinationals in Ireland paying the majority of the country's corporation tax, the government is mulling incentives to encourage them to stay. In this episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax reporter Ryan Hogg discusses some options the government is considering, including an increase in the R&D tax credit.
