Impacts of last year’s legislation unfold in foreign entity classification discussions but then our speakers dive into inbound and outbound issues for today’s complex world-class business setting.
Foreign Entity Classification: To Be or Not to Be
As far as U.S. income tax purposes are concerned, it is critical to understand how companies outside of the country fit within foreign entity classification. First, determine if the type of business qualifies, but afterward a percentage of those that do may also qualify for classification election. Furthermore, potential Section 367 regulations may make classification election taxable. We explain the complex rules and explore which companies are best suited for which classifications.

Taking a Global View of Professional Ethics
Just as there is some convergence of U.S. accounting standards (GAAP) with international standards (IFRS), a convergence of U.S. professional ethics standards (AICPA Code of Professional Conduct) with the international Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants is beginning to emerge. This workshop compares the two sets of ethics standards, emphasizing both the theoretical aspects and practical implications for today's accounting professionals.
