The More Relevant Information the Better: G2 Taxable Events Webinar Series
Google makes you smarter. Agree or disagree, this search engine provides millions of people with access to countless resources that can be used to help them make more informed and more accurate decisions. In other words, the more relevant information, the better. This sentiment could not ring more true as it relates to tax accounting /analysis of securities transactions (TAST), arguably the most costly and complex part of accurately generating a fund’s book to tax adjustments.
Ask any fund tax practitioner or compliance officer and they will agree – identifying, say, when a non-wash sale becomes a wash sale because of the effects of a straddle – is anything but easy. However, with more readily available, practical and relevant information on TAST best practices – this complex business problem can become much more manageable. More relevant information on TAST best practices can help firms avoid non-compliance with the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and costly regulatory scrutiny and sanctions. Proponents of “the more relevant information is better” approach, we are very excited to announce our CPE-eligible, complimentary web seminars about taxable events and investment portfolios. These webinars are in addition to our other TAST Resources.
We’re not the only ones who espouse the “more relevant information is better” approach when it comes to TAST best practices. The Hedge Fund Law Report, a definitive source of actionable intelligence on hedge fund law and regulation, just published the final article of a four-part series about TAST best practices, “Tax Practitioners Discuss Taxation of Swaps, Wash Sales, Constructive Sales, Short Sales and Straddles at FRA/HFBOA Seminar.”
Learn more about our inaugural webinar, Wash Sales, Constructive Sales & Straddles: A Primer, 1:00- 2:00 p.m. EST, Thursday, March 13. To read our TAST white papers, click here.
