CFOs of multinational enterprises often face a persistent challenge: maintaining a balance between the autonomy of local operations and the need for centralized oversight, compliance, and financial efficiency. This session will explore how technology, seamlessly integrated into SAP, can support finance leaders in addressing this tension by improving visibility into value creation and intercompany transactions across global operations. A common tension emerges between commercial teams, often incentivized by revenue and local profit targets, and the finance organization, which must ensure consolidated profit margins of value chains and simultaneously consistency in intercompany pricing, service cost allocations, and statutory compliance across jurisdictions. We will examine practical approaches for enhancing transfer pricing consistency, automating cross-border service allocations, and reducing audit exposure—while supporting statutory, tax, and management reporting requirements. Attendees will also learn how rules-based, scalable frameworks can replace manual processes, strengthen internal controls, and support audit readiness. Join us to discover how greater transparency across the value chain—from creation to reporting—can help finance teams gain a more integrated, strategic view of intercompany operations.

You will:

• Discover methods to achieve multilevel, end-to-end visibility into the value chain at the product level, enabling more informed decision-making and operational transparency. 

• Learn how to construct a unified, legally accurate, and consolidated view of intercompany transactions to support compliance, reporting, and strategic planning. 

• Explore how to enhance profitability through the optimization of operational transfer pricing strategies.
