The Supreme Court of Canada has delivered judgments in two critical cases involving the General Anti-Avoidance Rule. These long-awaited decisions are the most important developments in tax law in the past decade. Are you on the right side of GAAR?

History
When GAAR was introduced in 1988, it gave Revenue Canada very broad powers to challenge perceived tax avoidance activity. And since its genesis, there have been many justifiable concerns regarding GAAR's impact on tax planning. The bottom line is that GAAR has the power to affect any transaction that has the purpose of eliminating or reducing tax. But there has been little in the way of practical guidance to make informed planning decisions – until now.

The Essential GAAR Manual: Policies, Principles and Procedures is written by Canada's most highly regarded team of experts on GAAR issues at Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP: William I. Innes, LLB, LLM; Patrick J. Boyle, LLB; and Joel Nitikman, LLB, LLM. It was designed with your tax planning practice in mind and includes useful and accessible reference tools that will arm you with the knowledge and insight to inform your clients properly. It answers questions that will affect your tax planning strategies, such as:

• What's the future of GAAR after Canada Trustco and Mathew?
• What's a "textual, contextual and purposive" analysis?
• What does the Supreme Court of Canada mean by requiring that tax measures be "predictable"?
• What is the future of corporate tax planning?
• What is the future of family and estate planning?
• How will commercial tax shelters fare under the "new" GAAR analysis?
• How does a practitioner cope with the post-Canada Trustco climate?
• How do you document a transaction that may be probed by GAAR?

The author team goes beyond a descriptive and substantive analysis and provides you with key insights into the practical application of GAAR considerations for your day-to-day practice. As the application evolves, the CRA is likely to invoke GAAR with more frequency.

• Provides over 750 examples of realistic sample footnote disclosures to assist in the preparation of financial statements for an audit, a review, or a compilation engagement.
• Facilitates compliance with U.S. GAAP by integrating, in each chapter, the specific disclosure and key presentation requirements with the sample footnotes.
• Provides sample disclosures that are technically sound, understandable, and comprehensive and that cover a variety of scenarios, from the most common to the most unusual.
• Incorporates all currently effective accounting standards, including those that cover areas of unusual difficulty, such as financial instruments, fair value, business combinations, consolidation, income taxes, pensions, accounting changes, and variable interest entities.

All of the sample disclosures in the GAAP Financial Statement Disclosures Manual are included on the accompanying CD-ROM. Therefore, once you’ve identified the disclosure suited to your specific needs, you can simply select it from the CD-ROM, place it into your financial statements, and then modify it as necessary. Also included is a financial statement disclosures checklist that provides a centralized resource of the required and recommended GAAP disclosures and key presentation items currently in effect, using the style referencing under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as well as references to pre-Codification FASB literature. It is designed to assist the user in determining whether the required financial statement disclosures and key presentation matters have been addressed.

This Manual is arranged into the following major parts, consistent with the Codification’s broad structure:

• Part 1 General Principles (Topic Codes 100s)
• Part 2 Presentation (Topic Codes 200s)
• Part 3 Assets (Topic Codes 300s)
• Part 4 Liabilities (Topic Codes 400s)
• Part 5 Equity (Topic Codes 500s)

The primary objective of the GAAS Practice Manual is to provide a complete, quick and valuable reference source for the practitioner of the currently effective pronouncements of Statements on Auditing Standards, Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements, Statements on Standards on Accounting and Review Services, and the new PCAOB Auditing Standards–and the interpretations of those standards.

Although the Sections in this book follow the sequence of sections presented in the AICPA's Professional Standards, the material is presented and analyzed in a different format. Each Section is divided into three major parts:

1. What Every Practitioner Should Know–which discusses the specific standard, its basic requirement and the practitioner's essential responsibilities.
2. Practice Issues and Frequently Asked Questions–which focuses on techniques for applying the standard by using a Q&A format.
3. Illustrations and Practice Aids–which includes checklists, questionnaires, sample working papers, sample correspondence, and sample accountant's reports.

Many of the illustrations and practice aids in the book appear on the free, companion CD-ROM that comes with GAAS Practice Manual. The adaptable sample letters, reports and checklists found in the text can be printed and customized to meet all of your auditing needs.

The Manual includes a cross-reference to the original pronouncements chart and a detailed topical index.

The 2012 edition has been updated for new pronouncements through the issuance of SAS-121 (Revised Applicability of Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100, Interim Financial Information).

The 2012 edition is current through the following pronouncements:

The 2012 edition also provides information on the AICPA's Accounting Standards Board (ASB) Clarity Project, which aims to clarify U.S. GAAS and converge them with international auditing standards.

Extant individual AU Sections that are affected by the ASB's Clarity Project contain Practice Points that address the issuance of (1) exposure drafts of clarified auditing standards, or (2) final clarified auditing standards, as applicable. In addition, as the 2012 GAAS Practice Manual goes to press, the ASB has issued SASs

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.
