Four months after opening its review of Apple’s finances, the Securities and Exchange Commission has closed it, having found nothing untoward about the company’s handling of its overseas cash and related tax policies, reports “AllThingsD” (http://tinyurl.com/ljsrzlz).
The SEC has completed its review of the company’s fiscal 2012 annual report and plans no action at this time. “Evidently, there’s no need to, as the agency has found Apple’s disclosures to be sufficient, particularly now that it has agreed to provide investors with more information about its foreign cash, tax policies, and plans for reinvestment of foreign earnings,” says “AllThingsD. “In the SEC’s eyes, Apple accounts for taxes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.”
