The Board believes the Income statement format recommended in Audits of Banks conforms with the principles of income statement presentation which are set forth in APB Opinion No. 9. Accordingly, the last two sentences of paragraph 6 of APB Opinion No. 9 are deleted and such Opinion is therefore applicable to financial statements issued by commercial banks for fiscal periods beginning after December 31, 1968.

Proposed statement on Responsibilities in tax practice, entitled : Use of Estimates;Use of Estimates; Exposure draft (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants), 1968, Jan. 17
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Committee on Federal Taxation
This Statement considers the responsibility of a certified public accountant in connection with the use of estimates in the preparation of a Federal tax return which he signs as preparer. A certified public accountant may prepare tax returns involving the use of estimates if either such use is generally acceptable or, under the circumstances, it is impracticable to obtain adequate actual data. When estimates are used, they should be presented in such a manner as to avoid the implication of greater accuracy than exists. The CPA should satisfy himself that estimated amounts are reasonable under the circumstances.

Proposed APB opinion : Accounting for income taxes;Accounting for income taxes; Exposure draft (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants), 1967, Sept. 14
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Accounting Principles Board
The Board's conclusions concerning some of the problems in accounting for income taxes are summarized as follows: a. Interperiod tax allocation is an integral part of the determination of income tax expense, and income tax expense should include the tax effects of all revenue and expense items included in the determination of pretax accounting income. b. Interperiod tax allocation procedures should follow the deferred method, both in the manner in which tax effects are initially recognized and in the manner in which deferred taxes are amortized in future periods. c. The tax effects of operating loss carrybacks should be allocated to the loss periods. The tax effects of operating loss carry forwards usually should not be recognized until the periods of realization. d. Allowable investment credits usually should be applied in the determination of income tax expense in those periods in which the costs of the related property giving rise to the investment credits enter into the determination of pretax accounting income through provisions for depreciation or amortization. e. Tax allocation within a period should be applied in order to obtain fair presentation of the various components of results of operations. f. Financial statement presentations of income tax expense and related deferred taxes should indicate clearly (1) the composition of income tax expense as between amounts currently payable and amounts representing tax effects allocable to the period, and (2) the classification of deferred charges and deferred credits into a net current amount and a net noncurrent amount.

The Board therefore believes that the "investment credit" should be reflected in income over the productive life of the acquired facilities rather than in the year of their acquisition. Accordingly, the Board is of the opinion that the amount of the "investment credit" should be applied to reduce the recorded cost of the acquired facilities, either directly or by inclusion in an offsetting account which would be deducted from the cost of the facilities for purposes of both balance-sheet presentation and calculation of periodic depreciation.
