How necessary is it to stay up to date with the latest mandates in Federal Taxation?

Commitment to Currency–The annual Pope/Anderson/Kramer series texts publish in April of each year, bringing you and your students the most recent updates in taxation. In addition to updating the annual editions, the authors will also respond to important changes in the tax law in between editions if necessary.  For example, the authors provided an update covering the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005 and the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA).

FAS 109 – Issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, this document dictates how firms should account for income taxes in the financial statements of a business.  The increased scrutiny of the tax provision in financial statements compels tax and auditing professionals to have a strong working knowledge of this area. To help meet this need, the textbook includes a Financial Statement Implications section at the end of relevant chapters.

·        General Coverage, (Chapter 3)
·        Implications of Specific Transactions, (Chapter 2, 5, 7, 8, 16)
·        Tax Return and Financial Accounting Exercise (Chapter 3)
