Bloomberg Tax Enhances Provision Software with ASU 2023-09 Compliance Features

Significant Update to Bloomberg Tax Provision Software

In a significant move to enhance compliance and efficiency, Bloomberg Tax announced the introduction of a newly updated Provision software. This enhancement is particularly focused on incorporating a built-in rate reconciliation report that aligns with the new FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU 2023-09). Effective for public companies beginning annual periods after December 15, 2024, this update represents a crucial step in ensuring companies can efficiently follow evolving regulatory standards.

Key Features of the Enhancement

The latest Bloomberg Tax Provision now includes features that allow users to disaggregate income tax rate reconciliations into eight specific categories. This disaggregation is presented in both dollar amounts and percentages, fully adhering to the requirements set forth by the ASU 2023-09. Such a breakdown not only meets compliance needs but also enhances transparency regarding tax liabilities across various jurisdictions, including federal, state, and foreign territories.

Evan Croen, head of Bloomberg Tax, emphasized the importance of these updates, stating, "The updates to Bloomberg Tax Provision demonstrate our commitment to helping companies stay ahead of regulatory changes." By leveraging the integrated Bloomberg Tax Workpapers along with the Provision software, tax professionals can save valuable time, improve accuracy, and ensure ongoing compliance with new FASB requirements for future reporting periods.

Automation and User-Friendly Designs

One of the critical aspects of the enhanced software is its, intuitive design and automation features that simplify workflows. This includes new and updated reports, such as the ASU 2023-09 Rate Rec Tab Report and an updated auditor's report featuring the new reconciliation tab. The focus on streamlining tax provision processes aims to make ASC 740 calculations seamless and efficient for end users.

Meeting the Needs of Evolving Regulations
