Such analysis is used to assist them in determining the focus of their advocacy efforts. These potential legislative and regulatory changes may have a material impact on KO’s effective tax rate (ETR) and earnings per share (EPS).

The role requires someone who is seen as a subject matter expert both inside and outside the Company, such as with KO’s advisors and local tax auditors, and who can communicate very complex calculations and principles to non-subject matter experts.
