Challenge for business entities Are their accounting personnel familiar with the
differences with tax and accounting rules to be able tomake valuable suggestions to management?
Did their employees who are responsible for thepreparation of income tax return undergo training on theimpact of the new accounting standards on tax reporting?
Has the entity reviewed its information system todetermine if it effectively captures the relevant tax andaccounting differences to ensure availability of correctinformation when required?
Does the entity maintain records to support thesedifferences and which are retained and will be readilyavailable in case of a BIR tax audit?
THANK YOU and
Have a Blessed Day!
