Country-by-Country Reporting Data Integrity Director

The mandate

This assignment will create a defensible data and control model for country-by-country reporting. The defined problem is not completion of one report; it is proving that entity population, jurisdiction assignment, financial fields and narrative explanations can be reproduced from governed sources and reconciled when accounting structures do not map neatly to reporting definitions.

Milestone one, due in week five, is a signed constituent-entity and jurisdiction map with inclusion, exclusion, permanent-establishment and currency decisions evidenced. Milestone two, at the end of month three, is a field-level data dictionary, source hierarchy, transformation logic, ownership matrix and reconciliation design covering every reportable value.

Milestone three, due in month six, is a full dry run with anomalies investigated, prior-period movements explained and sampled values traced back to approved records. The final milestone is the filing-ready data pack, methodology memorandum, control evidence, training record and residual-interpretation register. Technical acceptance belongs to the International Tax Director; data-control acceptance belongs to the appointed financial-reporting owner.

The client will provide entity records, trial balances, consolidation outputs, tax-residence decisions, prior reports, source access and named local validators. Acceptance requires population completeness, reproducible transformations, reconciled totals, evidenced currency conversion and closure of all critical anomalies. Filing submission, master-file drafting, transfer-pricing policy redesign and technology procurement are excluded.

What you will own

• Prove the constituent-entity population against legal, accounting and tax-residence records, documenting every inclusion, exclusion and permanent-establishment treatment.
• Define each reportable field through source priority, accounting basis, transformation, currency method, sign convention, owner and review evidence.
• Design reconciliations from country-by-country totals to consolidation and supporting ledgers, with explicit treatment of eliminations and reporting-basis differences.
• Establish anomaly tests for employee counts, tangible assets, unrelated and related revenue, profit, tax paid, tax accrued and accumulated earnings.
• Run a complete dry cycle and investigate outliers through factual owner confirmation rather than unexplained central adjustment.
• Trace a risk-based sample from final report cells back to governed source evidence and retest any defects after correction.
• Train permanent preparers and reviewers through one supervised rerun and an entity-population change scenario.
• Submit the accepted data pack, methodology, controls, unresolved interpretations and next-cycle maintenance calendar at project close.

Candidate qualifications

• At least 15 years in international tax data, reporting or transfer-pricing operations, including Director-level ownership of country-by-country reporting controls.
• A completed implementation where you proved constituent-entity population and reconciled report fields to consolidation through formal acceptance.
• Detailed understanding of OECD country-by-country definitions, accounting-source choices, currency translation, permanent establishments and explanatory narrative.
• Experience identifying a plausible-looking report that failed population, sign, elimination or source-lineage testing.
• Ability to convert tax definitions into unambiguous data rules without allowing technical interpretation to disappear inside code or spreadsheets.
• Evidence of coordinating tax, consolidation and local finance owners while preserving separate technical and data-control approvals.
• Fixed-scope project discipline demonstrated through named inputs, dry-run defects, retesting and residual-risk transfer.

Working terms and boundaries

• The engagement spans seven months at three days a week, with payment released against four accepted artifacts rather than monthly effort.
• The International Tax Director accepts definitions and treatments; the financial-reporting owner accepts population, lineage and reconciliation controls.
• Entity records, consolidation data, residence decisions, prior reports and local validation capacity are dated client dependencies.
• Filing submission, master-file authoring, policy redesign and software purchase remain outside scope and require a written variation.
• Final acceptance requires a successful dry run, resolved critical anomalies, reproducible transformations, trained owners and signed residual interpretations.
