In this article, we perform an international overview of accounting standards for tax effect accounting(or income taxes). Specially, we compare accounting standards for tax effect accounting of U.S. and International Accounting Standards. The principal component of U.S. accounting standards for tax effect accounting is as follow. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109) represents the culmination of a multi-year process in which Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) reviewed and subsequently modified the requirements for accounting for income taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires an 'asset and liability' approach for the accounting for income taxes. That is, deferred income taxes are viewed as assets and liabilities of the firm, and deferred tax expenses id determined by the current-year change in the firm's deferred tax liabilities and assets. Previously, Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11, Accounting for Income Taxes (APB No. 11) required a 'deferral' approach to accounting for income taxes. The primary intent of the deferral approach was to match tax expense with corresponding revenues and expenses for the year in which the revenues and expenses were recognized in the financial statement. Unlike the SFAS No. 109, APB No. 11 did not require firms to adjust deferred tax balances for subsequent events such as changes in tax rates or laws. And, the principal deference between SFAS No. 109 and the previous statement on accounting for income taxes, SFAS No. 96, is that SFAS No. 109 requires firms to recognize deferred tax assets for the tax benefits of tax credit or operating loss carryforwards, no matter how likely the firm was to realize these benefits, and this was one of the reasons for its demise.

Purpose: The South African government is determined in alleviating poverty while encouraging job creation and protecting the disposable incomes of poor households. This article looks at the challenges that are facing the South African Social Security system and argues that the provision of income security is amongst the most practical expressions of a nation's cohesion and values. Research Design, Data and Methodology: There are seven proposals in the Social Security and Retirement Reform and these proposals are based on the following two principal objectives of the government, that is, to ensure a basic standard of living and to prevent destitution in old age or in circumstances of unemployment or incapacity partly or wholly through redistributive measures, and to encourage savings to provide for the replacement of income on retirement, disablement or death through long-term insurance arrangements. Results: This article evaluates these seven proposals, state old age pension, wage subsidy, mandatory participation in a national social security system for all, mandatory participation in private occupational or individual retirement funds, Voluntary additional contributions to occupational or individual retirement funds, reform of the governance and regulation of the retirement funding industry and reform of the tax system. Conclusion: This article concludes that the population size of South Africa has increased significantly to 51, 8 million in 2011 and therefore the time is right for bold new steps in improving income security of the poor and strengthening the fabric of social solidarity that binds all South Africans together.
