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, 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 SEC 1933 or 1934 Act filings. It can be used to prepare and review the financial statement disclosures of non-small business, 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 free, back-of-the-book CD contains three checklists covering the same disclosure questions and requirements in the book.

A multistate guide that covers how to set up and administer trusts in all fifty states. It enables the practitioner to keep abreast of the increasingly complex state rules that govern the establishment, maintenance and taxation of trusts and is of interest to the accountant and financial planner who makes provisions for his client's wealth management.

The book deals with the individual state rules for the creation of a trust, for appointing a trustee (including the qualifications that the trustee must have and the fiduciary duties that the trustee will owe to the grantor and the beneficiaries). The book discusses state requirements for modifying or revoking the trust. It covers the issues that arise if the grantor wishes to move the situs of the trust from one state to another. The permissible duration of a trust is also considered as is the Rule Against Perpetuities in states where this is still an issue.

This publication also discusses the accounting aspects of maintaining a trust from the state point of view, including creditor's rights in a trust, the different distribution standards in trust agreements, the effect of the Uniform Principal and Income Act (as adopted by each individual state), investment standards and total return trusts.

Also included is a discussion of the different state income tax rules, including forms and instructions for each state.

• Revocable Trusts
• Modification or Termination of Trusts
• Issues in Connection with Trustee's Power to Make Discretionary Distributions
• Trusts for Pets and Purpose Trusts
• Asset Protection

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:

1. Decide if the transaction should be taxable or nontaxable.
2. Structure the deal for the best results-stock or asset acquisition.
3. 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. In addition to updates of all rulings, cases and legislation, the 2010 edition contains a new chapter on Bankruptcy.

Chapter 1       Taxable and Tax-Free Acquisitions
Chapter 2       Basic Concepts in Deductibility and Capitalization
Chapter 3       Accounting for Restructuring Transactions under Code §351, 338, 381, 721, and 1001
Chapter 4       Treatment of Contingent Liabilities
Chapter 5       Treatment of Transaction Costs Prior to the Final Capitalization Regulations
Chapter 6       Final Capitalization Regulations
Chapter 7       Debt Modifications in Connection with Mergers and Acquisitions
Chapter 8       Original Issue Discount (OID) in Mergers and Acquisitions
Chapter 9       Amortization of Intangibles under Code §197

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.
