SUMMARY:(LIAA08/27) Exploring Client Advisory Services - Cash & Accrual Basis Concepts
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nThere are generally two different ways to keep the books – cash and accrual basis. The method of accounting you choose is important because it dictates when you show income and recognize expenses. So which one is best for you and your business? That’s exactly what this course is all about! In this session\, we will discuss the key differences between cash and accrual accounting. We will talk about why the cash basis is normally easier but may be misleading. We will also discuss what you typically see on most business tax returns – and why your method of accounting choice could make a big difference in your tax liability! \nObjectives\nIdentify when a transaction should be recorded on the accounting records under the cash method. \nRecognize when income is recognized and an expense must be accrued on the accounting records under the accrual method. \nIdentify what account should not appear on the financial records if the accrual method is being used.

SUMMARY:(LIAA09/27) Exploring Client Advisory Services - Account Reconciliations\, Software Best Practices\, & Common Reports
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nThere can be no doubt that accounting and tax software capabilities have improved drastically over time. Gone are the days of paper reconciliations and 10-key tapes attached to reports. However\, as automation has increased\, practitioners may wonder whether the software is performing all the critical checks that it should. When software reconciles an account\, can we rest assured that it is correct? Are there key screens that we should be looking at as a part of our month-end processes? How can we be sure that automated transactions are coming over correctly? In this course\, we will dig into what the software is doing and how we can be sure the software is correct. We will also discuss how to investigate variances and apply analytical techniques to month-end reporting. \nObjectives\nIdentify best practices related to account reconciliations. \nRecognize common reports from accounting and tax software packages. \nRecall common review techniques for automated transactions and month-end account balances.

SUMMARY:(LITX65/27) Exploring Client Advisory Services - Business Income Tax Basics
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nThe Internal Revenue Code is just a different world! While most business school graduates learn basic GAAP or IFRS accounting principles\, the tax world feels very foreign – because so many rules are different. For example\, how do you depreciate assets if we don’t estimate their useful lives? Also\, when do we need to file a tax return for a flow-through entity if they don’t actually pay any taxes? And when are estimated tax payments required? In this course\, we will be exploring some basic principles for filing and paying business income taxes. If you are new practitioner or someone who is going out on your own for the first-time\, and you find yourself intimidated by all of the income tax rules and compliance\, we have you covered! \nObjectives\nIdentify the main types of accounting methods that may be used on an income tax return. \nState when a taxpayer must make estimated tax payments. \nRecognize expenses that have special tax treatment.

SUMMARY:(LIOT05/27) Exploring Client Advisory Services - Communicating Financial Results to Stakeholders

SUMMARY:(LITX18/27) Understanding Corporate Taxation: Tax Credits\, Disposing of Shares & Corporate AMT
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nCorporate taxation can be complex—but understanding it is essential for practitioners who advise business clients.

Through discussion and easy-to-follow examples\, you will leave better equipped to advise corporate clients on these important and often-tested areas of the tax law. \nObjectives\n• Recognize tax credits applicable to corporations under current law\, including components of the general business credit.• State the requirements for a substantially disproportionate redemption under IRC Section 302(b).• Identify the tax implications and reporting requirements of corporate stock acquisitions and redemptions.• State when the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax applies to corporations and how adjusted financial statement income is determined.

SUMMARY:(LITX19/27) Tax Research: Secondary Sources\, Tax Positions\, & Conflicting Authority
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nFinancial professionals are inundated with new information about the Internal Revenue Code on a daily basis. While it’s easy to dismiss unreliable social media posts or obscure websites\, it becomes much more challenging when conflicting information comes from respected\, authoritative sources. For example\, is a court decision about a tax issue more important than information directly coming from the IRS? What happens if information from the IRS is inconsistent with the law? And is there ever a time when I can rely on information given by the IRS to another taxpayer? In this course\, we will take a deep dive into secondary sources of tax authority. We will examine common conflicts\, explore how to weigh different types of guidance\, and discuss practical strategies for resolving uncertainty. Finally\, we will clarify the distinctions between giving tax advice\, preparing a tax return\, and taking a position on a return to help you navigate these situations with confidence and precision. \nObjectives\n• State key differences between common types of non-authoritative tax research sources. • Identify what a tax position is and when one is considered engaging in tax preparation. • Recall the difference between a Private Letter Ruling and a Determination Letter • Recognize how to evaluate the authority of court decisions.

SUMMARY:(LIAA17/27) Exploring Client Advisory Services - Unearned Income & Prepaid Expenses
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nIn most industries\, it is normal to get paid after a job is done. However\, what do you do if someone pays you ahead of time? The job is not done yet\, so you can’t recognize the revenue. Also\, have you ever had to make a deposit on something ahead of time? If so\, then you can’t recognize the expense yet\, since it has not been incurred. These situations happen all the time\, but many practitioners just getting started struggle to know what to do in these instances. In this course\, we will be talking about unearned income and prepaid expenses. We will talk about how the accounting differs for cash and accrual basis taxpayers\, and what to do on the tax return. \nObjectives\nState what the terms unearned income and prepaid expenses mean and when these situations come up. Identify revenue recognition and expense recognition applicable to unearned income and prepaid expenses. Recognize the tax implications of unearned income and prepaid expenses.

SUMMARY:(LIOT06/27) Building a Better Budget in a Time of Uncertainty
