The Key to Achieving ASC 740 Compliance
Savvy finance and tax executives are proactively evaluating their ASC 740 and tax provision processes to ensure their teams are equipped with the right tools and expertise to get the job done right. ASC 740 inaccuracy remains a leading cause of company financial restatements and material weaknesses. ASC 740 governs how companies recognize the effects of income taxes on their financial statements under U.S. GAAP. Mistakes in this area can be catastrophic to a company, not only because of the expense related to financial restatements, but errors can also damage a company’s reputation and impact shareholders. Thus, it is imperative for tax professionals to get tax provision, which is key to achieving ASC 740 compliance, right the first time.
ASC 740 can be difficult for even the most tenured financial professional to navigate. Countless complications can impact your bottom line. Accounting for Stock Compensation under ASC 718 and Uncertain Tax Position under FIN 48 has added extraordinary complexity.
