Accounting
for Income Taxes
This
new book provides guidance on the application of FASB Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, as amended. It also provides interpretations of the
various amendments to Statement 109 since 1992, including guidance contained in
FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.
Accounting for Income Taxes gives
guidance on the complex requirements of Statement 109 and clarifies the
implementation issues resulting from the accounting industry’s literal
approach to applying the statement’s criteria. It provides a practical
reference tool by selectively combining information from the official text of
the FASB, along with information drawn from the AICPA, consensuses of the EITF,
SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins, and lessons learned from leading practitioners
in the field.
Accounting
for Income Taxes
is also part of a subscription to the Accounting
Research Manager (ARM). ARM is a comprehensive accounting research database
for the financial reporting professional.
