Disastrous Decisions: The Human and Organisational Causes of the Gulf of Mexico Blowout

Published: May 2012


Disastrous Decisions: The Human and Organisational Causes of the Gulf of Mexico Blowout is an essential reference for all work, health and safety professionals, directors, officers, managers, safety regulators and engineers.

Written by noted expert Professor Andrew Hopkins, this book takes the reader into the realm of human and organisational factors that contributed to the Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010. This event resulted in the loss of 11 lives in the explosions and fire, the sinking of the rig and untold damage to the environment and to the livelihood of Gulf residents.

It is important to know what people did, but even more important to know why they did it, so this book attempts to “get inside the heads” of decision-makers and understand how they themselves understood the situations they were in. It also seeks to discover what it was in their organisational environment that encouraged them to think and act as they did.

Hopkins provides a sophisticated analysis of the accident that first identifies a series of critical defences that failed and then goes on to explain why they failed.

CCH Accounting for Income Taxes, 2015 Edition (U.S.)

Richard Petersen

Provides guidance on the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes. It also addresses income tax-related paragraphs in certain other Codification topics, including Topic 805, Business Combinations, and Topic 980, Regulated Operations. This publication presents the author's interpretation on areas that have not been specifically addressed by the Codification or that require further explanation. The analysis in this publication is based on discussions with the staffs of the FASB and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), combined with lessons learned from leading accounting practitioners.

Appendix I includes a series of interpretations of income tax-related paragraphs that are located in other topics in the Codification.

Appendix II, "Index of Accounting Literature Cited," includes crossreferences to the interpretations that either refer to or incorporate the pre-Codification authoritative pronouncement or interpretive literature, in whole or in part, that was not codified by the FASB into its Codification. The FASB decided to exclude “nonessential material, such as redundant summaries of existing standards, historical content, discussions of previous practice, summaries of constituent feedback, and similar content." However, the author believes such information may be useful to readers of this publication.

Appendix III contains recent examples reflecting how various U.S. public entities have disclosed the information required by Topic 740.

BLUE BOOK 2013: Joint Committee on Taxation's General Explanation of Tax Legislation Enacted in the 112th Congress

 Authors: Lois Ruffner Plank, Donald Morris, Bryan R. Plank and Christie Plank Ciraulo

Provides a detailed explanation of the tax-related provisions contained in over 40 pieces of legislation enacted in the 112th Congress during 2011 and 2012.

The Blue Book provides the legislative history for each Act, a provision-by-provision description of the prior law and new law, the reasons for the law change if the provision was reported out of committee before enactment, and the effective date of each law change. Descriptions prepared by the Joint Committee on Taxation were included in the absence of other committee reports or when the Joint Committee issued a contemporaneous technical explanation of the bill. An Appendix shows the estimated budget effects of the tax legislation enacted in the 112th Congress for fiscal years 2010 – 2012.

The Blue Book's explanations serve as a useful guide in understanding the intent and meaning of the new tax laws and, along with committee and conference reports, is considered substantial authority for the tax treatment of an item for purposes of avoiding the Code Sec. 6662 accuracy-related penalty on substantial understatements of income tax (Reg. §1.6662-4(d)(3)(iii)).

For those approaching any potential farm restructurings or sales, this webinar will be essential.

This archive webinar covers a comprehensive look at the preferential tax treatment that transfers of qualifying farms or farm property can enjoy on passing to the next generation or on the sale to outside parties. This includes an overview of the capital gains exemption available for the sale of qualifying farm property shares and partnership interests, and rollovers to certain family members (both inter vivos and on death). While similarities do exist with among these transfers, there are traps and nuances that practitioners must be aware of to ensure their transactions qualify for beneficial tax treatment desired.

More specifically, for each of the above types of transfers, this archived webinar will explore:

  • What property qualifies for the treatment?
  • Who is entitled to the preferential tax benefit?
  • What does farming mean in these contexts?
    • What is the business of farming for tax purposes?
    • What is being "actively engaged on a regular and continuous basis"?
    • Who must farm the property?
    • When must farming activity take place?
    • How much of the property must be used in farming?
  • What are the common things farms may do to fall offside?
  • Putting it all together - a compare & contrast with examples
  • Bonus Issue (time permitting) - Craig vs. the Queen - restricted farm losses
