Carrington Tax Accounting in Mergers and Acquisitions gives in-depth, practical coverage of today's key issues in corporate acquisitions, dispositions, reorganizations, and restructurings from a transactional perspective. It will help your client: Decide if the transaction should be taxable or nontaxable. Structure the deal for the best results-stock or asset acquisition. Achieve desired business objectives. This book considers the tax accounting implications of structuring and restructuring transactions including those described in Code 351 (Transfer to Corporation Controlled by Transferor), 338 (Certain Stock Purchases Treated as Asset Acquisitions), 381 (Carryovers in Certain Corporate Acquisitions), 721 (Nonrecognition of Gain or Loss on Contributions to a Partnership), and 1001 (Gain or Loss on Disposition of Property). It discusses the rules relative to a taxpayer’s ability to carry over methods of accounting, to obtain audit protection through filing accounting method changes, to preserve favorable methods of accounting, to determine the effect of the transaction on any unamortized Code 481(a) adjustments (Adjustments Required by Changes in Accounting Methods), and to use the chosen structure as a means of achieving appropriate tax accounting objectives. In addition, it describes some of the most common types of accounting method exposure items that arise during the course of due diligence and some of the alternatives for mitigating exposure to the buyer. Furthermore, it describes the most significant anti-abuse rules that prevent taxpayers from unreasonably taking advantage of these provisions. Finally, it addresses some of the pitfalls that taxpayers should take into account in structuring transactions.

Although the Sections in this book follow the sequence of sections presented in the AICPA's Professional Standards, the material is presented and analyzed in a different format. Each Section is divided into three major parts: What Every Practitioner Should Know–which discusses the specific standard, its basic requirement and the practitioner's essential responsibilities. Practice Issues and Frequently Asked Questions–which focuses on techniques for applying the standard by using a Q&A format. Illustrations and Practice Aids–which includes checklists, questionnaires, sample working papers, sample correspondence, and sample accountant's reports. Many of the illustrations and practice aids in the book appear on the free, companion CD-ROM that comes with GAAS Practice Manual. The adaptable sample letters, reports and checklists found in the text can be printed and customized to meet all of your auditing needs. The Manual includes a cross-reference to the original pronouncements chart and a detailed topical index. The 2012 edition has been updated for new pronouncements through the issuance of SAS-121 (Revised Applicability of Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100, Interim Financial Information). The 2012 edition is current through the following pronouncements: - SAS-121 (Revised Applicability of Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100, Interim Financial Information) - SSAE-17 Reporting on Compiled Prospective Financial Statements When the Practitioner’s Independence Is Impaired) - SSARS-20 (Revised Applicability of Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services) The 2012 edition also provides information on the AICPA's Accounting Standards Board (ASB) Clarity Project, which aims to clarify U.S. GAAS and converge them with international auditing standards.

Full Article o Multistate Guide to Sales and Use Tax Audits (with CD-ROM), 2012 By www.cch.ca Published On :: Wed, 22 Jun 2011 10:08:43 GMT Author: Daniel M. Davis, MBA (Taxation), CPA, CFE Provides state-specific material for preparing for and handling an audit in all states that impose sales and use taxes. Readers will gain an increased understanding of why their businesses or clients were selected for audit, how their audits will proceed, what the audit staff will be looking for, and how assessments are developed. Instead of enacting tax increases, taxing agencies are quietly encouraged to mine every possible dollar from the existing tax structures. As a result, a sales and use tax audit notice generally may be regarded as the first step in a state civil action intended to extract additional funds from a specific taxpayer. Since this may often result in unfavorable consequences for the taxpayer, this book is intended to improve the taxpayer's chances of prevailing in what is often a losing battle. It aims to assist taxpayers in proactively avoiding paying more than their legal share of taxes. This guide comes with a CD-ROM, containing approximately 200 state and local exemption certificates.

o Multistate Guide to Sales and Use Tax Audits (with CD-ROM), 2012 By www.cch.ca Published On :: Wed, 22 Jun 2011 10:08:43 GMT Author: Daniel M. Davis, MBA (Taxation), CPA, CFE Provides state-specific material for preparing for and handling an audit in all states that impose sales and use taxes. Readers will gain an increased understanding of why their businesses or clients were selected for audit, how their audits will proceed, what the audit staff will be looking for, and how assessments are developed. Instead of enacting tax increases, taxing agencies are quietly encouraged to mine every possible dollar from the existing tax structures. As a result, a sales and use tax audit notice generally may be regarded as the first step in a state civil action intended to extract additional funds from a specific taxpayer. Since this may often result in unfavorable consequences for the taxpayer, this book is intended to improve the taxpayer's chances of prevailing in what is often a losing battle. It aims to assist taxpayers in proactively avoiding paying more than their legal share of taxes. This guide comes with a CD-ROM, containing approximately 200 state and local exemption certificates.
