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.

CCH SmartRelate™--Coming February 2007

CCH SmartRelate is an innovative productivity tool for the Internet formats of both the CCH Federal Securities Law Reporter and Securities Regulation (Loss/Seligman) treatise.
