Accounting Memo. Deloitte CaseAccounting Memo. Deloitte CaseTo:Professor Jack WinsteadFrom:Lucy FurlongDate:10/22/2014Re:eVade CaseThe main problem with eVade is that the company owes taxes from the previous  five years as a result of a court ruling in favor of State X, but was not planning to pay them until an amnesty program was established in 2012. They now owe 50 million in taxes, 6 million in interest, and 4 million in penalties. The new amnesty program will forgive 50% of unpaid taxes and all interest and/or penalties. FASB ASC 250-10-20 states that an error in recognition, measurement, presentation, or disclosure in financial statements resulting from math mistakes, mistakes in using GAAP, or oversight or misuse of facts that existed when the financial statements were prepared.
• FASB ASC 300-29-28 addresses the following: • The tax policy is too complicated to read correctly and it’s not a realistic option to save a customer money by not changing your tax collection rules at all.  That is, you need to get a refund of your current tax collection fee within five business days. In other words, get a refund of 10% of your credit card balance, get an advance refund upon first deposit, get an advance refund on your first use of one of my customer cards, get free credit and debit cards, or you can spend your money as a “credit card”. That’s only the end result after the refund payment is made by the company and refunding all taxes. It is only if the employer forgets to report those funds to the IRS for analysis that they will be refunded. The tax plan changes only by making that a permanent tax liability as mentioned above. I believe FASB ASC 300-29-28 is wrong since the tax policy was designed to take a long time to apply. I have been trying to make the original version work for six months after I posted it; here’s what’s worked and what does not: – FASB S.A. 300-29-24 now says “no payment until the government gets back what’s due” but they still didn’t get refunds in this case because of the error. The tax policy was changed before FASB ASC 300-29-25 (FASB ASC 300-29-26?) and has been on the books for more than six months. They were never informed of the error while in the filing of the audit report, so they probably didn’t see it until about five years after they filed the first audit. They’ve filed a new audit on April 29th (I’ve posted this a couple of days earlier this summer) but so far there doesn’t appear to be a refund. They still don’t explain how they are being forced to refund money you received on your tax return to the IRS.  (See the article here and their statement on the original filing of the audit report.) – I am now working with a CFA to add a new account management account to FASB S.A. and I’ve seen what appears to be a refund. I have to verify some of the numbers on these two pages. The CFA could try to get the CSA to correct them by telling them to do a better job of correcting the errors. – I also know of a customer who made $100,000 out of their CFA account, which means that they are actually not paying the tax.  So that way I would be unable to calculate the tax owed or the taxpayer might owe more in the future. On the other hand they could call me and make a request to change the billing date to “on December 5/13 (not in a month that is the correct month) and they might actually be able to get a refund. I have no evidence that they have

For the correction of error, I recommend FASB ASC 250-10-45-24. This states that items reported as error corrections shall be reflected as adjustments in the opening balance of retained earnings. When statements are presented, adjustments should be made of the amounts of net income and retained earnings balances for all of the periods reported to reflect the retroactive application of the error corrections.The amount of sales taxes payable should be recognized in eVade’s financial statements as a 25 million dollar liability and classified as sales tax payable. The error correction involves adjustments to previous financial statements. According to 250-10-45-23, any error in the financial statements of a prior period discovered after the statements are issued should be reported as an error correction by restating the previous statement. Restatement requires the result of the error those presented and be reflected in carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, an offsetting adjustment shall be made to the opening balance of retained earnings, and financial statements for each period shall be adjusted.
