The Tax & Finance Society (TFS) of the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) announces a special presentation from Christopher Blume, Managing Director of the Investment Strategy Group of Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management, titled:  “What’s Next for the Economy and Technology.”  This May 13, 2008 presentation will focus on the state of the economy, credit markets, the U.S. dollar and technology spending in today’s environment.

“As a sponsor of the Tax & Finance Society of TAG, we want to help technology executives understand the current economic outlook and how it may impact their business,” explains Mike Stanford of Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management in Atlanta. “Given the uncertainty over how the year will ultimately unfold, the discussion will center on the key drivers of the markets, historical perspectives on the current turbulence in the global economy, and the likely effectiveness of US fiscal and monetary policy.”

FASB delays FIN 48 compliance date for private companies

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has deferred implementation of FIN 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, for all non-public companies to periods beginning after December 15, 2007.  The purpose of FAS 109 is to recognize (a) the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (b) the deferred tax liabilities and assets of future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in a corporation’s financial statements or tax returns.

Preston Porterfield, CPA at Tarpley & Underwoood, states “the adoption of FIN 48 by a private company will allow for a fresh look at its tax exposures and to evaluate tax planning implemented in the past so that a company can execute the appropriate steps to minimize risk or maximize benefits in the future.”
