RDATE:06012011

Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fa4e7e/reporting_requirem) has announced the addition of the "Reporting Requirements for Payments Made to Non-US Persons: A "How-To" Session" audioconference to their offering.

With the IRS taking an even closer look at income paid to non-US persons, also referred to as nonresident aliens (NRA), it is more important than ever that you get the reporting right. This means establishing a best practice program right from the start. The rules are quite different from 1099 and W-9 requirements - and of course the forms are different as well.

The reporting of NRA Vendor Payments is a hidden audit issue with potentially large exposure for both corporations (especially multi-nationals) and colleges and universities. To make matters worse, the IRS has announced plans to increase enforcement initiatives in this area. But you can protect your organization. Accounts Payable Now & Tomorrow is pleased to welcome back the highly-rated Cyrus Daftary for an expanded 90-minute session.
