In December 2007, FASB issued revised FAS 141R, Business Combinations, which supersedes

FAS 141 and applies to business combinations occurring in annual reporting periods beginning on or after Dec. 15, 2008; early adoption is not allowed. For calendar year-end entities, the guidance
becomes effective on Jan. 1, 2009. Treasury & Risk asked Mark Wells, an executive editor with Thomson Reuters' tax and accounting group, about FAS 141R and how it affects merger and
