New FASB Interpretation 48 on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(“FIN 48”) will soon become effective, setting new thresholds
for recognizing and measuring the benefits of a company’s tax return
positions in its financial statements. Implementation of these new
rules will likely present a major undertaking for companies, requiring
an examination of not only current but also prior reporting positions.
The role of attorneys in this process will significantly expand as companies
struggle to classify their tax return positions under these new standards.
In addition, attorneys need to understand how these requirements for recognizing
tax benefits on financial statements will affect planning for acquisitions
and divestitures, as well as how the interpretation’s new disclosure
provisions could create a road map for tax authorities to attack tax planning
structures.
A panel of experts from the "Big Four" accounting firms and
academia will take us through the ins-and-outs of these issues and the
related planning opportunities.
