What You Can Expect
Mark your calendar and don't miss the most comprehensive and
up-to-date information reporting event of the year. For three days
you will gain access to the information that will make your
reporting processes and internal controls more efficient, compliant,
and your tax filing season hassle-free.
Why Attend?
This conference will examine the issues that impact all businesses
in their efforts to incorporate sound business accounting practices,
accounts payable processes, withholding, and compliance with IRS and
State Regulatory Requirements. The impact of incorporating the
processes and procedures to effectively address all of the related
requirements will ultimately impact all areas of your business.
Those areas starting with account origination, withholding
practices, tax issues, Sarbanes Oxley, and
ultimately
information returns can be a significant challenge and
expenditure for any organization. Understanding the requirements and
incorporating best practices can save your organization from
financial risk and streamline your process.
We are certain that many of you are aware that the IRS is increasing
their enforcement regarding information reporting and withholding on
all reportable payments - foreign and domestic. The IRS has recently
hired 1,100 agents with a focus on auditing all companies that issue
payments to foreign payees. Keep in mind that this could include
1099 payments issued to a payee with a foreign address.
Will your organization help draw the attention of one of those IRS
agents in the future? We certainly hope not. In order to ensure that
your business is not exposed to the risks for penalties it is
important to gain an understanding of how the current and new
regulations impact your current processes and internal procedures.
Many states have similar reporting requirements and penalty programs
for non-compliance with state regulations as well.
This conference will focus on current developments that will impact
most organizations with respect to 1099, W-2, and 1042-S Information
Reporting processes, mandatory withholding, backup withholding and
the penalties assessed by the IRS and state agencies. We will
present in-depth discussions on 2009 and future regulatory updates,
the IRS current focus on audits related to compliance with 1099 and
1042-S regulations, withholding, Payment Cards, State Reporting,
B-Notices, Penalty Assessments and more. Presentations and materials
apply to tax directors, legal, managers and accounts payable
personnel. Beginner preparation classes will be offered to
familiarize attendees who are new to this area. The beginner courses
will cover the basics of regulatory requirements and to prepare them
for participating in the general sessions and workgroups.
Compliance industry experts and nationally renowned advisors will
lecture and provide insight into key regulatory issues that directly
impact you and your organization. Our work groups provide you with
personal access to the instructors and the shared knowledge and
experiences of your peers. Attendees specific questions and needs
will be the focus of the work groups and provide them with the
opportunity to speak directly to the speakers and representatives.
This conference will enable participants to gain the knowledge
