The Sunshine Act reporting marks the beginning of "reporting season" in the drug, medical device, and biologic industry. Kicking off Sunshine Act reporting is the ideal opportunity to begin planning for any other transparency reporting applicable to your company's business:

• State and municipal transparency reporting. Many states and municipal jurisdictions have enacted their own transparency laws, which have varying reporting requirements that must be satisfied annually. For example, consider whether requirements that exist in California, Chicago, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Miami-Dade County, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, New Jersey, Vermont, among others, apply.
• International transparency reporting. A growing number of countries outside of the U.S. have enacted laws requiring transparency reporting regarding payments and relationships between manufacturers and health care providers, such as France (Loi Bertrand, with reports due March 1 and September 1), Japan, Australia, Italy, South Korea, Spain, United Kingdom, in addition to many others, including Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, and Turkey.
