Reserves are the safety nets reflecting uncertainty associated with a company&#8217;s tax position and must be robust enough to cover potential tax liabilities if challenged by tax authorities. Set on a &#8220;more-likely-than-not&#8221; basis, these reserves often err on the side of caution, leading to bloated balances that can shake up the P&amp;L and demand true-ups as conditions shift. This session dives into the tricky terrain of accounting for and disclosing reserves, helping you to reduce risk and manage compliance obligations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning Objectives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Discuss the need for and method of accounting for reserves<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assess how uncertain tax positions impact tax reserves<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apply techniques for accurate calculation and reporting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plan for and adapt to the latest updates and guidance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assess real-world scenarios illustrating key concepts and applications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Speakers<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span><em style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Loveve Williams, MS<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Senior Manager, State and Local Tax, TaxOps LLC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lakewood, CO<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Nicole L.
