Income Tax Income tax consists of income tax liabilities as well as deferred income taxes. Income tax consists of income taxes levied by the federal, state, and local governments. Some companies pay income taxes at the corporate level, whereas other companies pass their tax liability on to their shareholders. Deferred income tax occurs when a construction company uses a different accounting method for income tax purposes than they do for financial purposes. For example, a company may use the cash accounting method for income tax purposes because it allows the company to defer income tax, but uses the percentage-of-completion method for preparation of financial statements because it provides the most accurate financial picture of the company.

For example, as soon as bills are entered into the accounting system, management should get a report detailing all bills that exceed the amount of their purchase order or subcontract. Problems that are buried in volumes of accounting data are often never addressed because management seldom has time to pour through all of the data to find the problems or if they are found they are often found too late for management to address the problem.
