The Tax Reform Act of 1986 was a step towards forcing the use of the accrual accounting method instead of the cash basis accounting method. Those using cash accounting are advised to convert voluntarily while they may still do so to their advantage. The issues of conflicts between tax law and accounting principles, benefits and drawbacks of voluntary or required change and incentives to seek a change in method under three Revenue Procedures are presented.
The Tax Court ruled in a memorandum opinion that a contractor using the cash basis method of accounting should have used the accrual method because markups were added to the cost of supplies and because the taxpayer did have accounts receivable at year end. The Court found that the cash basis method had resulted in lower income than the accrual method would have, and the Court affirmed the IRS's imposition of a substantial understatement penalty. Cash basis taxpayers that may contravene this ruling may wish to consider a voluntary accounting method change.

The main purpose of this paper is to describe and analyse the reform and current situation of governmental accounting in Portugal, especially discussing the accrual basis implementation. In particular, it shows that not only gover...
