Given the wave of complexity that has affected the accounting profession over the past decade, using
tax-basis1 financial statements has become increasingly popular with nonpublic businesses.
More than ever, major differences now exist between GAAP and taxable income due to two factors.
First, there has been a continued upheaval in the tax code since the mid-1980s. Second, the FASB has
issued numerous GAAP statements in the post-Enron period.
As a result, small business owners find a continued conflict between balancing a desired lower taxable
income for tax planning with higher financial statement income necessary to appease the bank or third
party investor. In certain cases, tax-basis statements act to bridge this gap so that tax and financial
income are more congruous.
A. DEFINITION OF SPECIAL PURPOSE FRAMEWORK AND TAX BASIS
Before the author continues in this section, the term ¡°income tax basis¡± is a term that was in effect prior
to 2012. From 2012, that term is replaced with the new term ¡°tax basis¡± based on newly issued auditing,
compilation and review standards.
Oddly enough, the rules for non-GAAP frameworks, such as income tax basis, have existed within
auditing literature since inception. SAS No. 62, Special Reports, originally introduced the concept of other
comprehensive basis of accounting (OCBOA), a term that has included income tax basis, cash/modified
cash basis, and regulatory basis of accounting. Parallel guidance was included with the SSARSs.
Effective 2012, the Auditing Standards Board (ASB) reissued all auditing standards under its Clarity
Project. In doing so, the ASB issued SAS Nos. 122-126, which was subsequently supplemented by SAS
Nos. 127 and 128.

standards.
