Archived webcast - Tax accounting update 

24 March 2010 (Wednesday)
  
Tax accounting under US GAAP (ie ASC740 aka FAS109), IFRS (ie IAS12) or local GAAP can be a challenging task for even the most sophisticated groups of companies.  Changing economic situations coupled with changing tax laws mean that preparing current and deferred tax calculations can be complex process.  Those preparing the calculations are often required to exercise judgement and need to have a detailed knowledge of both the technical and practical aspects of the tax laws in the locations in which their companies' operations are based and the relevant accounting principles.  In this webcast we explored some of the common pitfalls that many groups in on our experience run into when preparing their tax provisioning calculations.  
  
The convergence of accounting standards, whether from US GAAP to IFRS, or as many territories in the Asia Pacific region are doing, including for example Japan, Korea, Thailand, and Taiwan, from local GAAP to IFRS, also poses some unique challenges.  Our tax accounting specialists provided a summary of the status of these changes and discussed some of the tax and tax accounting issues they give rise to, and what companies are doing in reaction to these.
