Draft a local file package for controller approval

When you kick it off for a country, WebRun opens Exactera, assembles the local file package with its benchmarking and functional analysis, saves it to SharePoint, and drafts an approval email to the controller that it leaves unsent for a human to review and send.

In short

How do I prepare a transfer pricing local file for controller approval?

WebRun readies a local file for sign-off without sending anything. For the country you pick, it assembles the package in Exactera with its functional analysis and benchmarking, saves it to SharePoint, and drafts an approval email to the controller summarizing the conclusion, then leaves that email unsent so a human reviews and approves before it goes out.

  • A review-ready local file package assembled on demand
  • Open items surfaced before the controller sees the package
  • The approval email is drafted but never sent without a human

Questions, answered

Will it send the approval email to the controller?

No. WebRun drafts the email and leaves it unsent in Gmail. A human reviews the package, confirms the conclusion, and sends it, so the sign-off request never goes out on its own.

Does it file the local file with the tax authority?

No. WebRun only assembles the package and saves it internally to SharePoint. Filing with any tax authority is a separate human step and is never automated.

How will the controller know what to check?

The draft email summarizes the tested transactions and the arm's length conclusion and lists any open item, so the controller sees exactly what needs a decision before approving.
