CCH's Manufacturing, Distribution, and Retail Guide
CCH's Manufacturing, Distribution, and Retail Guide is the first guide of this kind to deal with the accounting, consulting, and taxation issues that confront accountants and auditors who audit or advise these types of companies. This Guide, unlike existing literature, is not geared to those who deal with public companies, but rather to the majority of accountants servicing the specialized needs of non-public manufacturing, distribution, and retail companies.
The book is organized in four major parts covering the major areas of concern to accountants and auditors
The accounting and auditing section addresses concerns unique to these industries, including opportunities for auditors to increase efficiency and effectiveness. The consulting section offers numerous ideas for adding value to their clients' companies, as in costing, inventory management, reporting, financing, and mergers and acquisitions. The taxation section covers accounting methods, UNICAP, LIFO, research and development, and other essential tax planning and compliance topics. This edition includes new information on the Domestic Production Activities Deduction and features 7 new audit programs
