It also provides additional disclosure for taxes paid across federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions, creating greater transparency for stakeholders and streamlining the often-complex tax provision process. 'The updates to Bloomberg Tax Provision demonstrate our commitment to helping companies stay ahead of regulatory changes,' said Evan Croen, head of Bloomberg Tax. 'By leveraging Bloomberg Tax Provision in conjunction with Bloomberg Tax Workpapers, corporate tax professionals can save time and enhance accuracy, all while ensuring compliance with the new FASB requirements for years to come.'
