Inter Company Profit Tracking (ICT) SME Manager

ICT is a be-spoke GSK in-house system to calculate and eliminate intercompany profit for Group consolidation and reporting. It is an extremely complex system considering the complex trade routes we have in GSK, with over 100 tables, each having its specific characteristics.

ICT modules for Transfer Pricing, SMP, Actuals Reporting, and Standard Setting all play a significant part in Inter-Company Profit data and processes.
