The primary objective of the GAAS Practice Manual is to provide a complete, quick and valuable reference source for the practitioner of the currently effective pronouncements of Statements on Auditing Standards, Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements, Statements on Standards on Accounting and Review Services, and the new PCAOB Auditing Standards–and the interpretations of those standards.

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:

1. What Every Practitioner Should Know–which discusses the specific standard, its basic requirement and the practitioner's essential responsibilities.
2. Practice Issues and Frequently Asked Questions–which focuses on techniques for applying the standard by using a Q&A format.
3. 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:

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.

Extant individual AU Sections that are affected by the ASB's Clarity Project contain Practice Points that address the issuance of (1) exposure drafts of clarified auditing standards, or (2) final clarified auditing standards, as applicable. In addition, as the 2012 GAAS Practice Manual goes to press, the ASB has issued SASs

The book is organized to follow the arrangement of the AICPA's Professional Standards. Each section begins with a list of authoritative pronouncements and an Overview. A Promulgated Procedures Checklist identifies the essential professional responsibilities that must be satisfied in each phase of an engagement followed by an Analysis and Application of Reporting Standards, which explains how each specific promulgated procedure should be applied. Practitioner's Aids provide additional guidance on how to apply the promulgated standards to specific engagements.

Throughout the book Risk Assessment Points, Engagement Strategies, Planning Aid Reminders, and Observations provide helpful, practical tips. Fraud Pointers alert practitioners to issues affecting auditor responsibility for fraud and fraud risks throughout the audit engagement.

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.

CCH Accounting for Income Taxes 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 authors’ 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 cross-references 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, we believe 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.

Old depreciation systems do not die - or even fade away very fast. Businesses and the practitioners that serve them must operate with three coexisting depreciation systems -Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), the Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) and the Treasury Department's Asset Depreciation System (ADR).CCH's U.S.

Master Depreciation Guide offers tax and accounting professionals who work with businesses a one-stop resource for guidance in understanding and applying the complex depreciation rules to their fixed assets. This area is especially challenging, because bits and pieces of applicable information must be gathered from a maze of Revenue Procedures, IRS Tables and IRS Regulations. These sources are frequently old and include some materials which may be non-applicable. This book pulls the pieces together, so practitioners can make sense of all the corresponding information and put the information into practice.

The U.S. Master Depreciation Guide includes several useful "quick reference tables." These include a list of trucks, SUVs, and vans that are exempt from the luxury car caps because they weigh more than 6,000 pounds, trucks with a bed-length under six feet which are subject to a $25,000 section 179 depreciation cap, a list of states that conform to the federal bonus depreciation and section 179 expensing rules, and a comprehensive table of assets and corresponding recovery periods with cross references to the location of the related U.S. Master Depreciation Guide explanation.

Published annually, this new edition is completely updated to reflect all depreciation rule changes through press time in December. A special Highlights section provides a quick overview of any new legislation, cases, rulings, and regulations occurring since last year's edition, with cross-references to the explanation paragraph in which they are reflected.

CONTENTS:

• Discussion of the historical background of depreciation and depreciation fundamentals.
• Coverage of :
  1. Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), which was introduced by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and is applicable to most tangible depreciable property in service after 1986;
  2. Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) introduced by the Economic Recovery Act of 1981;
  3. General rules for pre-1981 property;
  4. Asset Depreciation Range (ADR) system which dates back to 1971;
  5. Code Sec. 179 expensing rules; and

New rules for financial statement users

With the transition to International Financial Reporting Standards in Canada, accountants, financial analysts and advisors, corporate finance professionals, institutional and individual investors and other financial statement users will need to re-educate themselves in understanding and interpreting financial statements issued by public companies.

Under IFRS traditional performance measures such as key financial ratios or income measures have the potential to change simply due to changes in accounting figures. In the UK for example, when their transition to IFRS occurred, some companies went from a profit to a loss position and vice versa, simply due to changes in accounting rules, rather than performance.

Description and explanation of how financial statements will change under IFRS

IFRS Literacy: Understanding the New Financial Statements provides a description and explanation of how financial statements will change under IFRS, along with valuable expert analysis and insight into true financial statement literacy in the post-IFRS transition market. The content of this work focuses on practical application and analysis of IFRS-based statements, drawing upon actual examples from both the Canadian and international financial markets. In its electronic subscription format, this content is updatable and fully searchable.

IFRS Impact highlights key differences under previous Canadian GAAP

Each chapter includes highlighted comments on the impact of IFRS on particular financial statement items. This commentary feature highlights key differences of financial statements prepared under IFRS from those issued under previous Canadian GAAP, noting common changes in accounting policies, amounts, disclosures and presentation. Extracts from published financial statements illustrate these differences.

Unique Canadian perspective for Canadian readers

IFRS Literacy: Understanding the New Financial Statements provides a unique Canadian perspective for Canadian readers, and is designed to appeal to a broad cross-section of financial statement users, including accountants, financial analysts and advisors, corporate finance professionals, and institutional and individual investors.

Topical coverage includes:

• Basic Building Blocks of Financial Statements
• Values and Limitations of Key Performance Ratios
• Assessing Risk and Measurement Uncertainties
• Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)
• Identifying "good" companies and fairly-priced stocks
• Specific impacts of transition to IFRS

CCH Provides the critical explanation and analysis to help you make sense of federal tax provisions enacted in 2001 and 2003 that are scheduled to expire December 31, 2012, so you can plan, respond and advise with confidence.

This book provides you with timely and practical guidance on the impending sunset of the tax cuts and benefits originally enacted as part of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA). Additionally, enhanced capital gains and dividends tax rates in the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 (JGTRRA) and subsequent legislation will also sunset after December 31, 2012. CCH editors, together with leading tax practionners and commentators, have created a complete practical analysis, guidance, examples and planning tips.

THE IRC provisions impacted by the sunset provisions of EGTRRA and JGTRRA are arranged in Code section sequence with caution language. CCH also provides several special tables and lists to facilitate quick and thorough understanding of how the sunset works, impacts the IRC and how it affects taxpayers.
