What is ad-hoc analysis?
"Ad hoc analysis is a business intelligence (BI) process designed to answer a specific business question by using company data from various sources.
With ad hoc analysis, users can extract the insight they need to make better business decisions without having to involve the IT department."
https://searchbusinessanalytics.techtarget.com/
"Ad-hoc is Latin for “as the occasion requires.” This means that with this #BI model, users can use their reporting and analysis solution to answer their business questions “as the occasion requires,” without having to request queries from IT. Naturally, ad-hoc reports can be and look as simple as a one page data table or as complex and rich as interactive tabular or cross-tab reports with drill-down and visualization features–or present themselves in the form of dashboards, heat maps, or other more advanced forms."

IFRS vs US GAAP (key highlights)
1. Inventory Methods:
Both GAAP and IFRS allow FIFO, weighted-average cost, and specific identification methods for valuing inventories. However, GAAP also allows the LIFO method, which is not allowed under IFRS. Using the LIFO method may result in artificially low net income and may not reflect the actual flow of inventory items through a company.
2. Inventory Write-Down Reversals:
Both methods allow inventories to be written down to market value. However, if the market value later increases, only IFRS allows the earlier write-down to be reversed. Under GAAP, reversal of earlier write-downs is prohibited. Inventory valuation may be more volatile under IFRS.
3. Fair Value Revaluations:
IFRS allows revaluation of the following assets to fair value if fair value can be measured reliably: inventories, property, plant & equipment, intangible assets, and investments in marketable securities. This revaluation may be either an increase or a decrease to the asset’s value. Under GAAP, revaluation is prohibited except for marketable securities.
4. Impairment Losses:
Both standards allow for the recognition of impairment losses on long-lived assets when the market value of an asset declines. When conditions change, IFRS allows impairment losses to be reversed for all types of assets except goodwill. GAAP takes a more conservative approach and prohibits reversals of impairment losses for all types of assets.
5. Intangible Assets:
Internal costs to create intangible assets, such as development costs, are capitalized under IFRS when certain criteria are met. These criteria include consideration of the future economic benefits. Under GAAP, development costs are expensed as incurred, with the exception of internally developed software. For software that will be used externally, costs are capitalized once technological feasibility has been demonstrated. If the software will only be used internally, GAAP requires capitalization only during the development stage. IFRS has no specific guidance for software.
6. Fixed Assets:
GAAP requires that long-lived assets, such as buildings, furniture and equipment, be valued at historic cost and depreciated appropriately. Under IFRS, these same assets are initially valued at cost, but can later be revalued up or down to market value. Any separate components of an asset with different useful lives are required to be depreciated separately under IFRS. GAAP allows for component depreciation, but it is not required.
7. Investment Property:
IFRS includes the distinct category of investment property, which is defined as property held for rental income or capital appreciation. Investment property is initially measured at cost, and can be subsequently revalued to market value. GAAP has no such separate category.
8. Lease Accounting:
IFRS has a de minimus exception, which allows lessees to exclude leases for low-valued assets, while GAAP has no such exception
Differences between financial reporting and tax regulations can cause discrepancies in income recognition or expense recognition.
When these discrepancies are expected to be resolved in the future in a way that reduces the taxable income of a company, a DTA can arise.
DTAs are based on "temporary differences."
Temporary differences are differences between the tax base of an asset or liability and its carrying amount in the financial statements that will result in taxable amounts or deductible amounts in the future.

If a business has a loss for accounting purposes, it might not be fully utilized for tax purposes in that year. This loss might be carried forward to offset future taxable income.

Some jurisdictions allow for accelerated depreciation for tax purposes compared to accounting depreciation.

A company might make provisions for bad debts or other future expenses in its financial statements. These provisions reduce accounting profit but might not be deductible for tax purposes until the expense is incurred.
