In Chapter 8 Schilit discusses  four (4) techniques to shift current income to a later period . One of  these techniques  is "creating reserves in conjunction with an acquisition and releasing them into income in a later period".  Why would this be done? How can an auditor detect this scheme? Is it illegal?
