One of the leading causes of financial restatements continues to be the reporting of deferred taxes and valuation allowances. These matters are further complicated with the continuous tax legislation developments across all jurisdictions.

Additionally, accelerated reporting deadlines along with increased scrutiny placed on proper disclosures create further challenges to comply with all reporting requirements.  It is clear that accounting for income tax grows complex each year and while a significant component of a company’s financial statements, many do not have the necessary resources available internally to prepare their income tax provision calculations.
