Grantor Trust Answer Book, 2015 (U.S.)

Author: Steven G. Siegel, J.D., LL.M (Taxation)

A grantor trust is a trust in which the settlor retains control over the trust property or its income to such an extent that the settlor is taxed on the trust's income.

The use of grantor trust arrangements has become an important estate planning tool. Owners of grantor trusts may be shareholders of S corporations. A number of desirable and sophisticated estate planning arrangements involve grantor trust status as the starting point. These include grantor retained annuity trusts (GRATs), grantor retained unitrusts (GRUTs), personal residence trusts (PRTs), qualified personal residence trusts (QPRTs) and intentionally defective grantor trusts (IDGTs).

The Grantor Trust Answer Book will address the following:

  • The grantor trust rules can be found in Code Sections 671 through 679. Each of these Sections describes a particular set of rules and circumstances that will cause a trust to be treated as a grantor trust. Each of these Code Sections is discussed in a separate Chapter addressing its rules and requirements.
  • Some of the interests retained by a grantor that make a trust a grantor trust also cause inclusion of the trust property in the grantor’s estate. Other interests do not. These distinctions are discussed throughout the publication.
  • Separate chapters address the estate planning uses of all types of grantor trusts (GRATs and GRUTs, PRTs and QPRTs, IDGTs).
  • Grantor trust issues are involved in the design of certain charitable trusts, notably charitable lead trusts and these are discussed in detail.
  • Coverage of foreign grantor trusts which is increasingly a topic of planning interest and government concern is included as well.
  • The fact that grantor trusts are subject to special income tax filing and reporting rules is discussed.
  • The role grantor trusts may have in planning for life insurance ownership, like kind exchanges and involuntary conversions are also among the issues addressed.
Chapter 1 Overview of Grantor Trusts: Principles and Taxation
Chapter 2 Code Section 671 — Trust Income, Deductions and Credits Attributable to Grantors and Others as Substantial Owners

Governmental GAAP Practice Manual (2015) (U.S.)

Author: Eric S. Berman, CPA

Demonstrates in a detailed manner how a governmental entity can implement the complex standards established by GASB-34 and beyond through a worksheet approach. (A companion publication, Governmental GAAP Guide, discusses financial accounting and reporting standards necessary to prepare the basic external financial statements of a governmental entity.) The emphasis of Governmental GAAP Practice Manual is on the process of preparing financial statements.

Chapter 1 of the Governmental GAAP Practice Manual provides a detailed analysis of the interrelationship between the modified accrual basis of accounting and the accrual basis of accounting. Included is a comprehensive checklist of transactions and events that typically require a worksheet entry. Starting in Chapter 2 is a comprehensive illustration that continues through the remaining chapters of the book. For governmental funds, a variety of transactions are illustrated and journalized in Chapters 2 through 6, which result in a year-end trial balance for each individual fund based on the modified accrual basis of accounting. In Chapter 14, these trial balances are used as the basis for developing the information needed to prepare the fund financial statements. Chapter 16 illustrates the worksheet methodology for converting the information to the accrual basis.

A similar approach is used for proprietary funds and fiduciary funds.

In Chapter 16 the basic financial statements (including the fund financial statements and government-wide statements) are prepared based on the information developed in Chapter 13 and Chapter 14. Chapter 17 provides a discussion of note disclosure concepts and a listing of the required note disclosures applicable to state and local government financial statements. Chapter 18 discusses and develops information related to management's discussion and analysis and other required supplementary information. Chapter 19 illustrates combining financial statements that are presented as part of supplementary information included in a governmental entity's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Chapter 20 provides the preparers of financial statements with an in-depth review of the statistical section of the CAFR.

GAAS Guide, 2015 (with CD-ROM) (U.S.)

Authors: Mark S. Beasley, Ph.D., CPA, and Joseph V. Carcello, Ph.D., CPA, CIA, CMA

CCH's GAAS Guide describes the engagement standards, practices, and procedures in use today, including Statements on Auditing Standards (SASs) and their Interpretations, Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAEs) and their Interpretations, and Statements on Standards on Accounting and Review Services (SSARS) and their Interpretations.

The 2015 Edition of the GAAS Guide reflects the latest available professional standards. Most importantly, changes in auditing standards and the related Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards resulting from the Auditing Standards Board’s (ASB) Clarity and Convergence Project.

This edition includes coverage of

  • SAS-122 (essentially all of the AU-C sections) (Clarification and Recodification), issued in October 2011,
  • SAS-123 (AU-C 200, AU-C 230, AU-C 260, AU-C 705, AU-C 720, AU 915, and AU-C 935) (Omnibus Statement on Auditing Standards — 2011), issued in October 2011,
  • SAS-124 (AU-C 910) (Financial Statements Prepared in Accordance with a Financial Reporting Framework Generally Accepted in Another Country), issued in October 2011,
  • SAS-125 (AU-C 905) (Alert that Restricts the Use of the Auditor’s Written Communication), issued in December 2011,
  • SAS-126 (AU-C 570) (The Auditor’s Consideration of the Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern), issued in July 2012, and
  • SAS-127 (AU-C 600 and AU-C 800) (Omnibus Statement on Auditing Standards—2013), issued in January 2013.
SAS-122 is particularly noteworthy as it represents the culmination of the ASB’s efforts to clarify the auditing standards and to largely converge its standards with the standards of the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). Designated by the new “AU-C” section numbering, the recodified, clarified standards numbers are the same as the equivalent ISA numbers for clarified SASs that are based on equivalent ISAs (AU-C section numbers for clarified SASs with no equivalent ISAs have been assigned new numbers). The GAAS Guide incorporates these new requirements throughout the affected auditing standards and includes coverage of AICPA pronouncements for the following standards:
  • SAS-127 (AU-C 600 and AU-C 900) (Omnibus Statement on Auditing Standards—2013)
  • SSAE-17 (AT 301) (Reporting on Compiled Prospective Financial Statements When the Practitioner’s Independence Is Impaired)
  • SSARS-20 (Revised Applicability of Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services)
All the exhibit materials in the book appear on the accompanying CD-ROM. All the sample letters, reports, and checklists found in this guide can be printed and customized to meet all your auditing, attestation, compilation, and review engagement ne

GAAS Guide, 2014 (with CD-ROM) (U.S.)

Authors: Mark S. Beasley, Ph.D., CPA, and Joseph V. Carcello, Ph.D., CPA, CIA, CMA

The GAAS Guide describes today's engagement standards, practices, and
procedures in use today, including:

  • Statements on Auditing Standards (SASs) and AU-C Sections,
  • Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAEs),
  • Statements on Standards on Accounting and Review Services (SSARSs) and their relationship to the PCAOB's standards.

The latest interpretations of all the standards are also included. Most importantly, it has been updated to reflect changes in auditing standards and the related Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards resulting from the Auditing Standards Board’s Clarity and Convergence Project.

The 2014 Edition includes coverage of the following:

  • SAS-125 (AU 905) (Alert that Restricts the Use of the Auditor’s Written Communication)
  • SSAE-17 (AT 301) (Reporting on Compiled Prospective Financial Statements When the Practitioner’s Independence is Impaired)
  • SSARS-20 (Revised Applicability of Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services)

The book is organized to follow the arrangement of the AICPA's Professional Standards. Each section begins with a list of authoritative pronouncements and an Overview. A Promulgated Procedures Checklist identifies the essential professional responsibilities that must be satisfied in each phase of an engagement followed by an Analysis and Application of Reporting Standards, which explains how each specific promulgated procedure should be applied.

Throughout the book Risk Assessment Points, Engagement Strategies, Planning Aid Reminders, and Observations provide helpful, practical tips. Fraud Pointers alert practitioners to issues affecting auditor responsibility for fraud and fraud risks throughout the audit engagement. To keep CPAs abreast of potential changes affecting AICPA professional standards, this edition contains new overviews of outstanding exposure drafts, which highlight key elements of possible changes to existing professional standards.

The sample letters, reports, and checklists found in the text are included on a CD-ROM. They can be customized.

  • AU 200: General Principles and Responsibilities
  • AU 300: Risk Assessment and Response to Assessed Risks
  • AU 500: Audit Evidence
  • AU 600: Using the Work of Others

SAS-122 is particularly noteworthy as it represents the culmination of the ASB’s efforts to clarify the auditing standards and to largely converge its standards with the standards of the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. As such, SAS-122 supersedes most of the existing auditing standards and recodifies the clarified and converged standards in one place (essentially similar to the design of SAS-1 many years ago). In addition, as part of its efforts, the ASB has issued these new standards using a new codification numbering sequence. We adopt this new numbering sequence in this year’s Guide.

The 2013 Edition includes coverage of the following:

  • SAS-125 (AU 905) (Alert that Restricts the Use of the Auditor’s Written Communication)

Foreign Bank Account Reporting Compliance Guide, 2014

Previously called:  FBAR Compliance Guide to Foreign Bank Account Reporting Compliance Guide.

If one owns or has authority over a foreign financial account, including a bank account, brokerage account, mutual fund, unit trust or some other type of financial account, he or she may be required to make an annual report of the account to the Internal Revenue Service. Under the Bank Secrecy Act, each United States person must file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) (Form TD F 90-22.1), if the person has a financial interest in or signature authority (or other authority that is comparable to signature authority) over one or more accounts in a foreign country and the aggregate value of all foreign financial accounts exceeds threshold amounts at any time during the calendar year.

In addition, the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act (HIRE Act), signed into law by President Obama in 2010, substantially incorporates the measures designed to stop tax evasion contained in the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) of 2009.

Under FATCA, U.S. taxpayers with specified foreign financial assets that exceed certain thresholds must report those assets to the IRS on Form 8938, which will be attached to their federal income tax return. This reporting is in addition to the foreign bank account report, Form TDF 90-22.1 (FBAR).

The Form 8938 reporting is applicable to all “specified persons” who are considered to hold an interest in a “specified foreign financial asset” which meets the “reporting thresholds.” In December 2011, the IRS issued temporary (TD 9567) and proposed (REG-130302-10) regulations which provide guidance on the requirement that certain foreign financial assets be reported to the IRS for tax years beginning after March 2010. This requirement comes from Section 6038D which was added to the Internal Revenue Code under the HIRE Act.

The Foreign Bank Account Reporting Compliance Guide is an essential resource because substantial civil penalties may be imposed for non-wilful violations and for wilful violations criminal penalties and imprisonment may be imposed in addition to the civil penalties.

This is an important new IRS compliance requirement with huge monetary civil penalties at stake as well as potential criminal consequences. It has ongoing compliance reporting requirements with enforcement teeth behind it and this publication provides the necessary guidance.
