The economic crisis of 2008 was a result of the current failing “incurred loss” model because it failed to alert investors to credit losses. The problems with the present model is it delays recognition of credit losses until the losses are deemed to be actually incurred or incurred under a high level of probability. A large majority of financial statements users are in agreement that the FASB needs to adopt a new model, while the real issue lies in tailoring this new model to work fairly and efficiently for all. The answer is to implement and establish a new impairment model that requires consideration of forward-looking information to assess the estimated cash flows to be received on amounts due from customers, investment securities, and other financial instruments...

...Proposed Accounting Standards Update Financial Instruments: Credit Losses ( Subtopic 825-15) Issued December 20th 2012 ACCT 6003: Financial Accounting Theory Professor Bill Dawson Completed by: Rich Allen, Jordan Keuken, Karen Vander Vloet, Lillian Cuevas Rosales June 28th, 2013 Executive Summary The recent global economic crisis of 2008 created a glaring need for changes in accounting standards in US GAAP. One of the many issues that contributed to the recession was accounting policies for the recognition of credit losses. Banks and large financial institutions usually recognized credit losses through an “expected credit losses” approach that included an initial recognition threshold. Credit losses would be recognized on financial statements once they were “probable to occur”. The recognition of a loss was based on a multitude of information. The difficulty with the existing method is that market events and many other variables make it very difficult to predict when credit losses are probable. This accounting policy lead to gross understatements of expected credit losses in the recent crisis and contributed to crashes in the stock market. The exposure draft for Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Subtopic 825-15) aims to broaden the amount of information when calculating an allowance for expected credit losses. The financial instruments that are in question are loans, debt securities, trade receivables, lease receivables, loan commitments and any...

...as a corporation. As part of their review, the CPAs have asked you to provide them with the following explanations: • The methodology used to determine deferred taxes • The procedures for reporting accounting changes and error corrections • The rationale behind establishing the subsidiary as a corporation Prepare your response to the three questions. Before submitting your response, your manager would like to know a little bit more about the request.

Additionally, provide your manager with a summary of your responsibilities in an internal memo (no more than 1,050 words). 1. The methodology used to determine deferred taxes Because tax reporting and financial reporting are based on two sets of assumptions, they create temporary differences between the amounts reported on the financial statements and income tax statements. A modified cash basis is used for tax reporting and accrual basis is used for financial reporting (Intermediate book, 966). A company will recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities on their balance sheet based on the differences between the financial statement carrying values and the tax basis (Book1,166). Deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability are two different types that result from taxable temporary differences. “A deferred tax liability represents...
