Overview
In the eighth and final webinar session, participants review the methodology for transforming the quasi-income statement - reported on a cash rather than accrual basis - for a partnership, limited liability company or Subchapter S corporation - Schedule 1065 and Schedule 1120S - into an accrual income statement, using information in Schedule K, Schedule M-1, and associated statements. They explore the differences in key performance ratios computed from cash-based business income tax returns and accrual financial statements. In addition, participants examine the differences between ordinary business income reported on a cash basis on Schedule 1065 or Schedule 1120S and actual Business Cash Income reported on the Uniform Credit Analysis (UCA) cash flow statement. Further, they assess the importance of identifying the source of cash to service interest-bearing debt, as well as the necessity of using accrual financial statements for ratio and cash flow analysis.
