By June 8, 2016, the Board had completed its initial deliberations on the disclosure requirements for income taxes. The Board reversed its previous decision and decided not to require an entity to disaggregate the cumulative amount of indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings for any country that represents at least 10 percent of the total cumulative amount. Instead, the Board decided to require disclosure of the aggregate of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries. The Board made adjustments to the language used in the exposure draft replacing the term public entity with the term public business entity as defined in the Master Glossary of the Codification.
The Board decided to require an entity to disclose the terms of any rights or privileges granted by a governmental entity directly to the reporting entity that have reduced, or may reduce, the entity’s income tax burden. The Board also made the decision to revise the carryforward disclosure requirement in Topic 740 for a public business entity. A public business entity would be required to disclose:

Parent Corporation owns 85% of the common stock and 100% of the preferred stock of Subsidiary Corporation. The common stock and preferred stock have adjusted bases of $500,000 and $200,000, respectively, to Parent. Subsidiary adopts a plan of liquidation on July 3 of the current year, when its assets have a $1 million FMV. Liabilities on that date amount to $850,000. On November 9, Subsidiary pays off its creditors and distributes $150,000 to Parent with respect to its preferred stock. No cash remain to be aid to Parent with respect to the remaining $50,000 of its liquidation preference for the preferred stock, or with respect to any common stock. In each of Subsidiary’s tax years, less than %10 of its gross
Additionally, the implementation guidance provided in IAS 1 BC56 states, “The Board recognizes that an entity may elect to disclose the results of operating activities, or a similar line item, even though this term is not defined. In such cases, the Board notes that the entity should ensure that the amount disclosed is representative of activities that would normally be regarded as ‘operating’. In the Board’s view, it would be misleading and would impair the comparability of financial statements if items of an operating

In my opinion as to whether or not the current federal income tax structure is fair for most Americans is that it is not fair. The following information will provide support for my decision. The main federal tax brackets are for single individuals, married individuals filing separately, married individuals filing as a couple and individuals filing as a head of household. In the financial year 2014, the lowest tax bracket paid a rate of 10% on income up to $9,075 while the highest bracket paid an average rate of 36.4% ($406,751 and above). Most individuals pay taxes across several tax brackets, and as a result, they end up with the progressive tax structure. In the current progressive federal income structure, individuals with a lower

Entity-wide disclosures are required under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 280-10-50-40 through 280-10-50-42. The disclosures are required because every corporation does not report information in a similar fashion, and the disclosures would provide comparability of the financial statements among entities. For example, if a corporation uses a geographic approach in its financial statements, disclosing certain information about the products or services sold will make comparability to other companies much easier. The disclosures will also help with comparability within an entity if they decide to choose another method of reporting operating segments in the future. There are three types of entity-wide disclosures; products and services, geographic areas, and/or major customers. Every public company has to comply with the disclosures, even if the company has one reportable segment. The only exception to the entity-wide disclosures is if it is impractical to provide the information, such as it would be extremely costly to the corporation, or if the “internal reporting systems are not capable of gathering financial information by product or service by geographic area.” A disclosure should be made when entity-wide disclosures are impractical.

Nevertheless, tax preparers cannot ignore the information to be incorrect, incomplete or inconsistent.

The act requires management to disclose all material information or changes within their accounting processes. By requiring senior management to review the reports they are held accountable for the financial accounting of the firm, and procedures to prevent employees and other members within an organization from committing fraud or theft and management is legally responsible if material misstatements have been made. By making management accountable then they are less likely to commit fraud if faced with jail time. Management and stockholders frequently have different goals. Management often wishes to expand and use the company’s assets in different ways than a stockholder. Management’s accountability of the financial reports often helps encourage management to use company assets in appropriate ways. Disclosures were also a reduction in risk of fraud because all material information must be disclosed. By requiring this disclosure if a company’s net income increased this year due to a

The GASB Statement No. 56 was initiated on April 16, 2009. The essence of the new ruling aims to integrate the accounting and financial guidelines of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) with the GASB’s accounting procedures that concern the state and local government (“New Release,” 2009; “Statement No. 56,” 2009; “Summary of Statement No. 56,” n.d). The statement does not create new financial reporting guidelines or requirements nor imply amendments to the current policies. Rather, it “relocates the existing” guidelines from the “professional auditing standards (“Statement No. 56,” 2009, p. 11). There are three major areas that are taken into consideration, namely “related party transactions, “going concern” attributes
