GAAS Guide, 2013 (with CD-ROM)

By www.cch.ca
Published On :: Fri, 15 Jun 2012 15:31:34 GMT

The GAAS Guide describes today's engagement standards, practices, and procedures in use today, including Statements on Auditing Standards (SASs), Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAEs), and 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. This edition includes coverage of SAS-122 (essentially all AU sections) (Clarification and Recodification), issued in October 2011, SAS-123 (AU 200, AU 230, AU 260, AU 705, AU 720, AU 915, and AU 935) (Omnibus Statement on Auditing Standards — 2011), issued in October 2011, SAS-124 (AU 910) (Financial Statements Prepared in Accordance with a Financial Reporting Framework Generally Accepted in Another Country), issued in October 2011, and SAS-125 (AU 905) (Alert that Restricts the Use of the Auditor’s Written Communication), issued in December 2011.

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)
  • 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. Practitioner's Aids provide additional guidance on how to apply the promulgated standards to specific engagements.

Throughout the book Risk Assessment Points, Engagement Strategies, Planning Aid Reminders, and Observations provide helpful, practical tips. Fraud Pointers alert practitioners to issues affect

Foreign Bank Account Reporting Compliance Guide, 2014

By www.cch.ca
Published On :: Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:35:09 GMT

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.

Part 1 FBAR Reporting

Chapter 1       History of Foreign Financial Account Reporting  
Chapter 2       How to Define a U.S. Person
Chapter 3       What is a Financial Interest?
Chapter 4       What is Signature Authority?

      The 7th edition of A Practical Guide to the GST/HST has been updated to illustrate the current state of the GST/HST in Canada. New to this edition is an outline of the Quebec Sales Tax (“QST”) including its relationship with GST/HST and related concerns for taxpayers carrying on business from or within Quebec.

      Recognizing that the GST/HST regime now authorizes varying rates, exemptions and rebates on a province-specific basis, the book is structured to highlight these provincial differences to facilitate compliance across jurisdictions.

      Designed for non-commodity tax specialists and corporate tax specialists, this reference guide is an invaluable tool for all who must comply with this increasingly complicated framework. 

      Key topics include:

      • Advantages, disadvantages and requirements of GST/HST registration
      • The obligations of a GST/HST registrant, including documentary requirements for input tax credits
      • Special GST/HST collection rules and alternate simplified tax remittance methods
      • Administrative relief, including the cancellation or waiver of interest, and remission orders
      • Objection and appeal procedures
      • Imports and exports
      • “Place of supply” rules (with accompanying reference charts)
      • Zero-rated and exempt supplies
      • Application of GST/HST to employee benefits

      New in this edition:

      • Additional chapters addressing jurisdiction specific issues
      • Updated  ratios, prescribed rates, and prescribed  factors  to facilitate compliance with increasingly complex rules
      • Revised material and references reflecting  the most recent legislative updates and administrative materials provided by the Department of Finance, the Canada Revenue Agency, and provincial authorities
      • More practical examples to ensure easy compliance in this complicated framework

      About the Authors: 

      Jacques Roberge, B.A.A., has more than 30 years of experience in commodity tax. He initially worked for Revenue Canada, and was later employed by three of the Big Four accounting firms to develop commodity tax consulting services. During that time, as well as being an independent consultant, he also assisted hundreds of taxpayers in the resolution of FST, GST/HST, QST and provincial retai
