ASC 740

Accounting for income taxes is detail-oriented, complex and time-consuming.

Missteps in analyzing and disclosing income tax risk can be costly, and result in material weaknesses, financial restatements and management disclosures. They can also lead to a loss of investor confidence, drop in stock price and business distractions.

Painstaking attention to detail and deep knowledge are critical to accurately calculating and reporting income tax provisions and uncertain tax positions.

Through these efforts, companies are able to recognize current year taxes due or refundable and manage expected future tax consequences of deferred assets and liabilities.

Complying with ASC 740 is challenging for public companies, and for companies without an internal tax department, the challenge is even greater.
