just now (1000+ words) For many global companies, accounting and tax data have long been compartmentalized, tracked in legacy systems, governed by local teams and reviewed retrospectively. This model is no longer sustainable. From 2026 onward, IFRS 18 will introduce a restructured income statement format, while mandatory e-invoicing and e-reporting regimes will push tax data into real-time transmission. At the same time, the OECD's Pillar 2 global minimum tax rules will begin to take effect and require multinationals to calculate and disclose effective tax rates by jurisdiction. These reforms will have a big impact on how global companies present their financial performance, manage their taxes and assess risk across their organizations. Once the flow of data to the outside world begins, it will be hard to stop. This new structure is designed to bring greater comparability to income statements, but may also reveal discrepancies in how companies…...

just now (540+ words) DOTHAN, Ala. (WTVY) - David Hanks has spent over 30 years ensuring that thousands of pounds of food reach Americans in need through his work at the Wiregrass Area Food Bank in Dothan. The CEO plans to retire at the start of the new year, ending a career that began when he moved to the Wiregrass in the mid-1990s from Tuscaloosa, where he studied public relations and accounting at the University of Alabama while following the football program. "It's probably one of the best moves we ever made in our lives, and we love being in the Wiregrass because people are so special," Hanks said. Hanks caught the food bank's attention shortly after arriving in the area, partly due to his mode of transportation. "I think what was more important than anything is I drove a Ford F-150 and at the time, the food…...

just now (957+ words) A team of scientists has investigated how ice melting in Antarctica affects global climate and sea level When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises the average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from the poles. But melting ice sheets don't affect sea level and temperatures in the same way everywhere. In a new study, our team of scientists investigated how ice melting in Antarctica affects global climate and sea level. We combined computer models of the Antarctic ice sheet, solid Earth and global climate, including atmospheric and oceanic processes, to explore the complex interactions that melting ice has with other parts of the Earth. Understanding what happens to Antarctica's ice matters because it holds enough frozen water to raise average sea level by about 190 feet (58 meters)....
