FIN 48 for Exempt (Non-Profit) Companies has been issued in compliance with FASB Statement 109 for the purpose of simplifying uncertainties that may appear in a company’s financial statements. This Interpretation is designed to identify significant data in an income tax return at the time it is adopted. It also serves as an effective measure in the classification, penalties, disclosure and transition of tax returns and financial statements. Exempt organizations should strongly familiarize themselves with FIN 48 as the consequences of not doing so can lead to huge penalties.
The Knowledge Congress is assembling a panel of experts and key regulators to discuss the important aspects of this Interpretation. The panel will present their findings, which include “Best Practices” in a two-hour teleconference and webinar.
