AICPA Reporting Framework for SMEs Expected Early in 2013

A small business update on work for small business GAAP as it has been labeled.  Of-interest, need-to-know and news-to-watch.  Accounting

Excerpt: The reporting framework the AICPA is developing for small and medium-size private companies, which will blend accrual income tax methods with other traditional methods of accounting, will be exposed for public comment this fall and is expected to be ready for use in 2013.

In May, the AICPA announced plans to develop a financial reporting framework for small and medium-size private entities that are not required to prepare U.S. GAAP financial statements.

Compilation reports for valuation engagements?

Small business need-to-know and of-interest…….I think we can also add news-to-watch.  

Excerpt…….Business valuation (BV) reports frequently include information presented in the form of financial statements. The reporting requirements for such financial statements have drawn increased attention as a result of the issuance of Statement on Standards for Accounting and Review Services No. 19 (SSARS 19), Compilation and Review Engagements.

When conforming the existing SSARSs Interpretations to SSARS 19, the Accounting and Review Services Committee decided to withdraw an interpretation related to financial information in BV reports. It has become evident, based on questions the AICPA has received, that the move sparked some confusion. While many practitioners thought that an exception had been removed, the truth is nothing changed.
