OFC

Accounting and Tax Policy Observatory

Internationalization of businesses and tax culture: The primary mission of the OFC - Accounting and Tax Policy Monitor, which is part of the SDA Bocconi Performance Lab, is innovation in the areas of economics and finance.

OFC’s primary objective is to perform studies and research on accounting and tax regulation on an international and European level within the framework of the corporate internationalization process that is currently taking place.

Activities

The activities of the SDA Bocconi OFC - Accounting and Tax Policy Monitor result in the formulation of white papers and research focused on the courses of action chosen by Italian companies with regard to tax and accounting policy.

Thanks to the OFC, SDA Bocconi organizes workshops and conferences, the conclusions of which become the subject of debate and comparison. Also, worth highlighting, as it is among its most important activities, is the publishing of the Wealth Journal, an on-line journal resulting from the collaboration between OFC and JP Morgan which provides in-depth analysis of wealth management taxation issues.

The OFC’s areas of focus are essentially two:

regulatory framework, which defines the control and accounting management regulations for every company
tax policies chosen by private organizations and corporate groups

The OFC’s research activities are instead focused on two specific areas.

accounting - this category includes:

the regulatory aspects of introducing IFRS accounting principles and their impact on the management processes within a company
interaction between corporate governance and tax optimization strategies

tax - this category includes:

managing the tax aspects of the processes that regulate the performance of productive activities
regulatory and economic aspects of tax competition

in-depth analysis of the corporate assets of organizations with an international scope

The research and knowledge dissemination activities of the Accounting and Tax Policy Monitor are the informational basis for a number of Open Market Executive Education Programs at SDA Bocconi such as:

corporate strategies for managing tax variables
transfer pricing: new perspectives for multinational companies
corporate taxation
digital economy: legal, regulatory and fiscal profiles of the new business models
administration, financial statements and taxation

Participants

In an increasingly globalized world, general managers and finance directors, government officials and professionals at tax advisory firms, are constantly being called upon to form networks and keep themselves up-to-date at a worldwide level. In this regard, the OFC Monitor supports them in comparing the Italian system with the systems used in other countries, in Europe and the world.

Thanks to its activities, SDA Bocconi reinforces its relationships with the best centers of excellence throughout the world on this subject, and delves into the principal areas of focus and the most important trends in Italian accounting and taxation.
