SEC Disclosures Checklists is a practical guide designed for CPAs who service public companies, whether internally or externally. It identifies disclosure requirements for financial statements, Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), and the SEC rules mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This product is both for preparers and reviewers of financial statements that will be included in 1933 or 1934 Act domestic filings, including those on Forms 10-Q, 10-K, and 8-K. It can be used to prepare and review financial statement disclosures of most domestic registrants.

The checklists are organized by question, disclosure requirement and reference source. First, the reader is prompted with a question, such as "Does the company have restrictions on its cash?" If the answer is yes, the reader proceeds to the disclosure requirement. The reader can also obtain more in-depth information by reading the excerpts from SEC reference material that is provided in the book and supports the requirement.

Once the reader is satisfied that the company has met the disclosure requirements, the response to the question and the workpaper reference can be entered into the book or on the checklist, which is available on the free, companion CD included with the volume. The completed checklists can be placed in quarterly or annual workpapers to provide support for review and compliance procedures.

The free, back-of-the-book CD contains three checklists covering the same disclosure questions and requirements in the book:

1. SEC Disclosures Checklist--Financial Statements for Commercial Companies and Specialized Industries. This checklist outlines the required SEC disclosures for financial statements included in 1933 and 1934 Act domestic filings that are incremental to U.S. GAAP. The checklist for commercial companies is organized by accounting topic.
2. SEC Disclosures Checklist Mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This checklist outlines the certification, disclosure, and reporting requirements resulting from the SEC rules mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
3. MD&A Disclosures Checklist. This checklist outlines SEC disclosures required in MD&A that are included in 1933 and 1934 domestic filings.

Practical Guide to Cost Segregation (Fourth Edition) not only explains how a cost segregation study is performed, but also outlines the steps needed to practice in this discipline and how to integrate and expand the broad practice of the firm taking it on. Comprehensive discussion is supported by practical illustrative examples. The book also explains how to sell and price cost segregation studies and analysis as a meaningful service to a firm's clients. 

Cost segregation involves much more than real estate. Land improvements and personal property components potentially eligible for separate depreciation over a reduced depreciation period include parking lots, sidewalks, curbs, roads, fences, storm sewers, landscaping, signage, lighting, security and fire protection systems, removable partitions, removable carpeting and wall tiling, furniture, and counters. Also potentially eligible are appliances and machinery unrelated to the operation and maintenance of the building and the portion of electrical wiring and plumbing properly allocable to machinery and equipment that is unrelated to the operation and maintenance of the building.

Provides practitioners with a fundamental, real-world approach for conducting the highest quality compilations and reviews. It reduces the technical language of official pronouncements to easy-to-read, easy-to-understand advice and procedures and is designed to help the CPA enhance the quality of his or her practice.

This comprehensive resource also deals with topics ranging from attestation standards for review engagements that do not involve financial statements to financial forecasts and projections.

Throughout, the guide features numerous checklists, questionnaires, workpapers, sample correspondence, and sample reports that take the auditor through an engagement from the initial evaluation of a client to the issuance of the auditor's report.

It would be hard to find a more useful guide to international sales agreements. Compared to domestic transactions, the risks associated are greatly multiplied and it is a rare international sales agreement that can rely on minor variations of standard terms, as is so often the case in domestic agreements. Foreign laws, export/import and currency exchange controls, treaties, transit issues, inspection of goods, insurance, tariffs - all these and more must be taken into account in contract negotiations.

For lawyers charged with drafting an international sales contract, this expanded and updated second edition is invaluable. Clause by clause, it clearly details the drafting process, commenting expertly on every issue likely to arise as it goes. Designed to cover every contingency, including definitions, Incoterms, price adjustments, documentation, labeling, delivery dates, limitation of liability, confidentiality, arbitration and antitrust issues, this book also covers relevant national circumstances in the commentary to each clause.

3. is designed for students to perform forensic investigation, alone or in teams, with the instructor serving as a facilitator; and
4. includes secondary documents that either corroborate the superficial accounting information initially provided or reveal anomalies and discrepancies pointing to who, what, when, where, how, and why.
