SFAS 109 Accounting for Income Taxes

Course Description:

There has been increased scrutiny on today’s provision calculations, tight timelines for meeting detailed reporting requirements, a large number of restatements and SEC comment letters related to income taxes, and significant changes in the regulatory environment regarding tax disclosures. Now, more than ever, it is imperative to have people who understand how to properly apply tax accounting theory to ensure accurate financial statement and management reporting.

We would like to help you with this challenging task. Atlas Service Link and McAfee Inc. are proud to offer a two day course designed to walk you through today’s complex tax accounting issues while providing examples of best practice reporting and tips for meeting Section 404 documentation requirements. This course goes beyond discussing accounting theory and actually teaches you and your staff how to properly apply the theory when booking complex transactions during the preparation of the current and deferred components of the global corporate tax provision.

Our team of presenters have in-depth knowledge and practical experience in public accounting and in industry. Relevant course topics include FIN 48, Stock Based Compensation, Business Combinations, Valuation Allowances, Equity Adjustments (Other Comprehensive Income), FAS 52 Currency Translation Adjustments, State and Local Jurisdictions, Net Operating Losses, APB 28 Interim Reporting (Incl. Tax Rate Changes), Transfer Pricing, APB 23, Foreign Tax Credits and an in-depth look at Current Foreign Provision Developments and Local Country Issues.
