Practitioner's Collections

These are special collections for the non-specialist: tax generalists, sole practitioners and in-house financial officers. The key to these collections is flexibility – you are able to build the information bundle that best suits your needs, at a price that best fits your budget. These Collections differ from the CCH Tax Libraries because instead of having Dominion Tax Cases (DTC) from 1920 to present, they have DTC Digests, covering cases from 1972 to the present, with “headnotes” or summaries of each case for those years. Also, some infobases are updated less frequently.

GAAS Practical Manual (2012) (with CD-ROM) (U.S.)

Available: October 2011

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:

    - SAS-121 (Revised Applicability of Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100, Interim Financial Information)

    - SSAE-17 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 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

    The Practice of Mediation: A Video Integrated Text, 2nd Edition

    Published: June 2012


    This widely-adopted mediation text was the first to combine in-depth textual analysis of the mediation process with video case studies illustrating the stages of the mediation process and the many constituent skills of effective mediators. The Practice of Mediation, Second Edition expands that video content and makes it available to students online or in a seamless e-book format, with a simple click of an icon. The book has quickly become the text of choice in mediation clinics and mediation simulation courses.

    Features of the second edition:

    • All original text, written in an accessible and conversational style. Used by many first-time mediation instructors as well as by highly experienced teachers and trainers.
    • Provides students with a sophisticated conceptual understanding of the negotiation process and the cognitive, psychological and strategic barriers to conflict resolution.
    • Teaches about the mediation process “from the inside out,” breaking down the skills of effective mediation into their component parts.
    • Closely analyzes the major ethical and role issues that mediators encounter “on the ground.” Includes a video-driven chapter on representation of clients in mediation.
    • Recognizes and prepares students for all of the major approaches to mediation.
    • Contains seven hours of video, depicting nine professional mediators, with different backgrounds and orientations, mediating three different cases, often with very different results.
    • The video extracts are fully integrated with the text, enabling students to “see” what they are reading about as they read it, and enabling instructors to save precious classroom time by assigning video extracts to be viewed and analyzed outside of class.
    • The three video case studies are all based on real mediated disputes.
    • In these unscripted mediations, the mediators and lawyers perform as they would in an actual case. Professional actors portray the role of the disputants in an extremely realistic and believable fashion. In addition to illustrating a very wide range of mediator techniques, the video includes an extended comparative example of facilitative and evaluative mediation of the same matter.
    • The Teacher's Manual includes detailed, flexible chapter-by-chapter teaching notes; a wide variety of simulations and mini-role-plays from which to choose (many with instructor debriefing notes); sample syllabi and suggestions for how the book can be used in a variety ofcourse configurations; transcripts of the video extracts that instructors can assign to students for further “micro-analysis,” plus author commentary; andassorted additional course information material and handouts.

    Practical Guide to Partnerships and LLCs (6th Edition) (U.S.)

    Author: Robert Ricketts and Larry Tunnell

    Discusses the complex issues involving partnership taxation with utmost clarity. It uses hundreds of illustrative examples, practice observations, helpful charts and insightful explanations to make even the most difficult concepts understandable. The book reflects the authors' penchant for communicating the pertinent facts in very direct language and creating a context for understanding the multifaceted issues and applying them to practice.

    This new edition fully reflects all the latest developments in this complex area. These include changes affecting:

    • partnership basis adjustments
    • transfers to partnerships of property with built-in losses
    • sale of an interest in a partnership with built-in loss property
    • disproportionate distributions from partnerships with built-in loss property
    • expensing and amortization of partnership organizational expenses
    • partnership treatment of the deduction for domestic production activities
    • recognition of cancellation-of-indebtedness income, and more

    In six parts, Practical Guide to Partnerships and LLCs covers the critical aspects of this complicated area, with individual parts focusing on partnership characteristics, funding, taxation of operations, partner's share of partnership debt, disposition of partnership interest, and distributions. From choice-of-entity considerations to sales and liquidations, the entire breadth of partnership and LLC taxation is covered. Special attention is given throughout to the complex inter-workings of rules that bind, tax and control these entity operations.

    In the book's first part focused on preliminary considerations, the basic underpinnings are presented covering key areas such as the "check the box" rules, "anti-abuse" rules, investment joint venture rules, the application of partnership taxation to LLCs, liability issues, passive loss limitations, audit issues, self-employment taxes, IRS classification, tax year and accounting method selection, and much more.

    The second part of Practical Guide to Partnerships and LLCs looks at property contributions and disguised sales, transactions between partner and partnership, and formation and start-up expenses. A special summary table for the tax treatment of pre-opening expenses is included.

    Next, the central core of the book explains the taxation of operations including partnership income rules, the pass-through concept, and the partner's share of income and debt. Specific rules, reporting and compliance issues are thoroughly addressed. Form 1065 and schedules L, M-1, M-2, K and K-1 are also explained.

    Part four covers partner's share of partnership debt, while disposition of a partnership interest is the subject of the fifth part of Practical Guide to Partnerships and LLCs. This section covers the amount and character of

    Practical Guide to Cost Segregation, 4th Edition

    Practical Guide to Cost Segregation (Fourth Edition) not only explains how a cost segregation study is performed, but also outlines the steps needed to practice in this discipline and how to integrate and expand the broad practice of the firm taking it on. Comprehensive discussion is supported by practical illustrative examples. The book also explains how to sell and price cost segregation studies and analysis as a meaningful service to a firm's clients.

    International Arbitration and Mediation: A Practical Guide

    Published: February 2010


    Optimising the outcome of disputes connected with international business forms the subject matter of International Arbitration and Mediation: A Practical Guide.

    Rather than adopt an idealised approach of pursuing victories at any cost, the authors help parties predict the realistic consequences (and costs) of their decisions and provide a step-by-step guide to opportunities to influence the course of a dispute as it unfolds in its various stages. They discuss techniques for productively resolving disputes through negotiation, mediation, and arbitration, frequently illustrating critical steps through real-world examples drawn from past experiences.

    The book is intended as an easily accessible desktop resource for lawyers who regularly counsel businesses when negotiating international deals, and for those who represent the same clients in achieving a successful resolution when disputes emerge.

    The practical guidance includes:

    • How to determine which dispute resolution clauses work best for different international contracts, and how to negotiate those clauses
    • What preliminary steps parties should consider to preserve their rights when a dispute arises
    • Whether and how to appoint counsel
    • When and how to perform an early case assessment (ECA)
    • How to organise and conduct international mediations and arbitration proceedings
    • How to enforce (or set aside) arbitral awards
    • Securing the benefit of additional protections available through investment treaties

    The text is divided into chapters that follow the life cycle of an international commercial dispute as seen through the eyes of the parties, from when they agree how to resolve disputes in their contracts to the endgame of enforcement. Additionally, the appendices include a number of model submissions for further reference.

    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.
