Adoption of FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, by
public companies is set to begin the first fiscal year beginning after
December 15, 2006. Companies are concerned about a number of potential
challenges accompanying the adoption of FIN 48 because it introduces
an entirely new approach in how companies recognize and measure tax
benefits associated with uncertain tax positions and disclose income
tax uncertainties in their financial statements.
The Knowledge Congress has assembled a panel of prominent experts to
help clarify FIN 48’s requirements during this live, two-hour
teleconference.
