Berman, CPA Demonstrates in a detailed manner how a governmental entity can implement the complex standards established by GASB-34 and beyond through a worksheet approach. (A companion publication, Governmental GAAP Guide, discusses financial accounting and reporting standards necessary to prepare the basic external financial statements of a governmental entity.) The emphasis of Governmental GAAP Practice Manual is on the process of preparing financial statements. Chapter 1 of the Governmental GAAP Practice Manual provides a detailed analysis of the interrelationship between the modified accrual basis of accounting and the accrual basis of accounting. Included is a comprehensive checklist of transactions and events that typically require a worksheet entry. Starting in Chapter 2 is a comprehensive illustration that continues through the remaining chapters of the book. For governmental funds, a variety of transactions are illustrated and journalized in Chapters 2 through 6, which result in a year-end trial balance for each individual fund based on the modified accrual basis of accounting. In Chapter 14, these trial balances are used as the basis for developing the information needed to prepare the fund financial statements. Chapter 16 illustrates the worksheet methodology for converting the information to the accrual basis. A similar approach is used for proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. In Chapter 16 the basic financial statements (including the fund financial statements and government-wide statements) are prepared based on the information developed in Chapter 13 and Chapter 14. Chapter 17 provides a discussion of note disclosure concepts and a listing of the required note disclosures applicable to state and local government financial statements. Chapter 18 discusses and develops information related to management's discussion and analysis and other required supplementary information. Chapter 19 illustrates combining financial statements that are presented as part of supplementary information included in a governmental entity's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Chapter 20 provides the preparers of financial statements with an in-depth review of the statistical section of the CAFR.

ac Foreign Bank Account Reporting Compliance Guide, 2014 By www.cch.ca Published On :: Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:35:09 GMT Previously called: FBAR Compliance Guide to Foreign Bank Account Reporting Compliance Guide. If one owns or has authority over a foreign financial account, including a bank account, brokerage account, mutual fund, unit trust or some other type of financial account, he or she may be required to make an annual report of the account to the Internal Revenue Service. Under the Bank Secrecy Act, each United States person must file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) (Form TD F 90-22.1), if the person has a financial interest in or signature authority (or other authority that is comparable to signature authority) over one or more accounts in a foreign country and the aggregate value of all foreign financial accounts exceeds threshold amounts at any time during the calendar year. In addition, the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act (HIRE Act), signed into law by President Obama in 2010, substantially incorporates the measures designed to stop tax evasion contained in the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) of 2009. Under FATCA, U.S. taxpayers with specified foreign financial assets that exceed certain thresholds must report those assets to the IRS on Form 8938, which will be attached to their federal income tax return. This reporting is in addition to the foreign bank account report, Form TDF 90-22.1 (FBAR). The Form 8938 reporting is applicable to all “specified persons” who are considered to hold an interest in a “specified foreign financial asset” which meets the “reporting thresholds.” In December 2011, the IRS issued temporary (TD 9567) and proposed (REG-130302-10) regulations which provide guidance on the requirement that certain foreign financial assets be reported to the IRS for tax years beginning after March 2010. This requirement comes from Section 6038D which was added to the Internal Revenue Code under the HIRE Act. The Foreign Bank Account Reporting Compliance Guide is an essential resource because substantial civil penalties may be imposed for non-wilful violations and for wilful violations criminal penalties and imprisonment may be imposed in addition to the civil penalties. This is an important new IRS compliance requirement with huge monetary civil penalties at stake as well as potential criminal consequences. It has ongoing compliance reporting requirements with enforcement teeth behind it and this publication provides the necessary guidance.

ac ADR in Business: Practice and Issues Across Countries and Cultures, Volume II By www.cch.ca Published On :: Tue, 10 Sep 2013 13:28:24 GMT Published: January 2011 Whether the ‘A’ stands for ‘appropriate’, ‘amicable’, or ‘alternative’, all out of court dispute resolution modes, collected under the banner term ‘ADR’ , aim to assist the business world in overcoming relational differences in a truly manageable way. The first edition of this book (2006) contributed to a global awareness that ADR is important in its own right, and not simply as a substitute for litigation or arbitration. Now, drawing on a wealth of new sources and developments, including the flourishing of hybrid forms of ADR, the subject matter has been largely augmented and expanded on two fronts: in-depth analysis (both descriptive and comparative) of methodology, expectations and outcomes and extended geographical coverage across all continents. ADR in Business: Practice and Issues Across Countries and Cultures, Volume II covers twenty-nine ‘intertwined but variegated’ essays (to use the editor’s characterization) that provide substantial insight in such specific topics as: ADR’s flexible procedures as controlled by the parties ADR’s facilitation of the continuation of relations between the parties Privilege and confidentiality Involvement of non-legal professionals The identity and the role of the ‘neutral’ as well as the role of the arbitrator The implementation of ICC and other international ADR rules The workings of Dispute Boards and The role of ADR in securing investment and other specific objectives In its compound thesis – growing in relevance every day – that numerous dispute resolution methods exist whose goals and developments are varied but fundamentally complementary, the multifaceted approach presented here is of immeasurable value to any business party, particularly at the international level. Practitioners faced with drafting a dispute resolution clause in a contract, or dealing with a dispute that has arisen, will find expert guidance here, and academics will expand their awareness of the issues raised by ADR, in particular as it relates to arbitration. A broad cross section of interested professionals will discover ample material for comparative study of how disputes are approached and resolved in numerous countries and cultures.
