CURRENT ISSUES IN U.S. ACCOUNTING FOR
INCOME TAXES (ASC 740)
December 15 & 16, 2014 • Bloomberg LP • New York, NY
WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
Corporate tax practitioners are always advised to stay current with
the latest ASC as well as tax law changes. Such changes and
developments often impact not only the calculation of the income
tax provision but also the disclosure required in the tax footnote in
the annual as well as the interim financial statements.
Many tax practitioners are aware that the tax provision constitutes a
significant item in the financial statements. In particular, the recognition of deferred tax assets is an issue affecting all tax practitioners,
particularly in light of the increased scrutiny from auditors and regulators regarding the sufficiency of the valuation allowance. Further
the ASC 740 issues stemming from business combination transactions are often complex and present challenges in properly reporting
and disclosure of the issues. This course provides an excellent opportunity to discuss the most current trends and issues in ASC 740.
BloombergBNA is pleased to announce its popular conference, Current Issues in US Accounting for Income Tax (ASC 740), which is designed to update attendees on the latest ASC 740, and related SEC)

pay, business combinations, uncertain tax positions, and the financial
and tax treatment of financial obligations and hedges.
Let BloombergBNA assist you in developing and refining the skills
needed to evaluate the tax provisions. Read through our course
outline and reserve your place today at this special program.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This intermediate level course is designed for the corporate VP-Tax or
accounting, as well as directors, managers and their staff, including
controllers and financial executives responsible for assembling the tax
provision and financial statement preparation. This two-day course is

financial statements. Prerequisites: completion of our Tax Accounting Primer course, or familiarity with the basic ASC 740 rules and an
