Presenter and Moderator Bios
Eric Lucas joined KPMG’s Tax Practice on October 3, 2011 as a principal in the Income Tax and Accounting group. Eric’s practice focuses on the emerging issues associated with the capitalization / repair expense regulations, inventories, cost recovery and many other matters involving methods of accounting and general tax principles. Prior to joining KPMG, Eric was with the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of the Tax Legislative Counsel, where he served as an attorney advisor. In this role, Eric was a member of the working groups that issued the tangible property regulations as well as several regulatory projects involving complex inventory issues including sales based royalty costs and negative 263A costs, all in response to practitioner and taxpayer comments. The working groups included a number of key government officials from the IRS Office of Chief Counsel (for example, inventory specialists) and the IRS Commissioner’s office. In addition to these projects, Eric worked with IRS personnel in crafting guidance on a number of difficult accounting methods issues, including revenue recognition, business credits, and general domestic tax issues. Eric has over 17 years (including three years with the Treasury Department) of professional experience that includes positions with the IRS Chief Counsel’s Income Tax and Accounting Division and the accounting methods practices of the Big Four accounting firms. Eric is a frequent speaker to such groups as the Tax Section of the American Bar Association, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Federal Bar Association and on several occasions was a guest presenter for Georgetown University’s LL.M. program in taxation.

Specifically, she specializes in accounting change services, on-call technical accounting advice and by side assistance. Prior to joining KPMG, Stephanie served as a Postgraduate Technical Assistant at the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). At the FASB, she worked on two major project teams: the joint project with the IASB on Revenue Recognition and the FASB project on Disclosures of Certain Loss Contingencies. She also interacted with constituents through the technical inquiry process by answering questions on FASB pronouncements, focusing on the application to certain entities. Stephanie has provided accounting advisory services for clients in the following industries: government contractors, software, telecommunications, diversified industrials, and federal government.
