  • Grant Thornton Leader Leveraged PE Deal to Raise Audit Bar

    Grant Thornton Leader Leveraged PE Deal to Raise Audit Bar
    Nov 5 2025
    Grant Thornton’s top audit leader is bullish on the practice’s future after a 2024 deal that sold a significant stake in the accounting and advisory firm to private equity investors led by New Mountain Capital. The audit practice has benefited from a boost in dedicated resources and also bolstered its safeguards against conflicts of interest. Those improvements stem from an operating contract between Grant Thornton’s legacy audit practice and its PE-backed business, said Ron Messenger, CEO of Grant Thornton’s audit business. The firm’s private equity deal ushered in a new two-part legal structure that created a corporate entity to provide its tax and advisory work while audit partners run the firm’s legacy assurance business. Nearly half of the largest 30 firms have cut PE deals and they all rely on what the industry calls the “alternative practice structure.” Underpinning that new operating structure is a services agreement spelling out the relationship between the two entities from governance to resources. Those agreements can’t be an afterthought, Messenger said. He spoke with Bloomberg Tax reporter Amanda Iacone about how Grant Thornton's services agreement came together, how regulators informed that document, and how it will influence the quality of the firm’s auditing.

  • 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.
