Point of View: Greenhouse gas emissions - A new mandatory reporting rule takes effect in 2010
According to a new rule, owners of the nation's largest sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are required to report emissions levels to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA is taking further steps to regulate GHG emissions under the Clean Air Act, and Congress is drafting more comprehensive climate and energy legislation. Whatever agreement is reached by legislators, all companies can establish a clear approach to meet changing expectations for how energy is used. This PwC Point of View discusses the new reporting requirement. A recorded webcast exploring the topic is available as well.

Paying Taxes 2010 - The global picture
This annual study from PwC and the World Bank Group measures the ease of paying taxes across 183 economies worldwide by assessing both the cost of taxes and the administrative burden of tax compliance. This year's study was conducted against the backdrop of a global recession, which has meant falling tax revenues around the world, and the need for governments to make difficult tax policy choices. Despite this, it is clear from the study that tax reform remains high on governments' agendas.
