Podcast overview

The Pillar Two rules are going to continue to evolve long after they are initially implemented in 2024. These changes are going to put pressure on a number of important areas for multinationals, including legal entity and operational structures, IT systems and financial reporting processes, just to name a few.

In this episode, Tony Burzinski, KPMG Accounting Advisory partner, and James Sanderson, KPMG Tax partner, join the show for the first ever Pillar Two draft! In the two-round draft, Tony and James take turns picking the most important long-term impacts of Pillar Two that companies should start capitalizing on today.
