Comprehensive Statement Analysis

• Sole proprietorship
• Partnership
• C corporation
• S corporation

Research the following consequences associated with each form of business organization:

• Tax implications
• Legal implications
• Accounting implications, such as SOX, GAAP and FASB

For tax implications for each entity, your book only says that some entities have advantages. Do some research to determine what the tax advantages and disadvantages are for each. I want to see specifics. I provided a link to the IRS.

Legal implications refers to liability and continuity of the entity in the event of death or the withdrawal of a partner, owner or shareholder. Be sure to be specific about liability issues, particularly with the partnership.

For SOX ,GAAP and FASB, what entities are required by law to comply? for which entities are  these best practices?

This  will require a good amount of credible, peer reviewed research.  I provided a recommended post to help with this.  Also, make sure the research is current (within the last few years). I have had students use old sources and the information was outdated.

This assignment is meant to force you to be clear and concise in your writing. If a sentence is not conveying a fact, it is fluff, and needs to be cut or edited.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines and use credible sources.
