• General Topics: The Statement of Cash Flows, Forecasts & Projections, Selecting the Appropriate Accountant’s Reports, Financial Statement Disclosures

Accounting Two Day - 2008

Price:

2008 brings dramatic changes in the operation of the typical accounting practice. This is the year you must attend!
• Compilation & Review: From 1978 to 2002, the Accounting Review Services Committee of the AICPA issued only seven Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services. In the past five years, ten more have been issued. Find out how these new standards—including SSARS No. 17—change the tone of the main street accountant’s practice: redefining compilations, redefining reviews, changing the meaning of “third parties”, expanding the need for analytical procedures, emphasizing the focus on fraudulent activity, and evaluating those responsible for governance.
• Peer Review: The new standards, new language, new approach, and new ratings. Find out what you need to do to make sure you are doing the right things.

IRS Audits, Appeals, & Collections: Successful Strategies - 2009
|
|
Price:
$0.00

If tax law can be called science, then dealing with the IRS can be called art. This class combines both science and art, and we will discuss both the technical issues and the behavioral issues of resolving matters before the IRS. The IRS has been reinvigorated, thus increased enforcement action is not only taking place now, but is expected to increase over the next few years. That means more audits and more collection matters.
