Bradley T. Borden
Lawmakers, prosecutors, homeowners, policymakers, investors, news media, scholars and other commentators have examined, litigated, and reported on numerous aspects of the 2008 Financial Crisis and the role that residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) played in that crisis.

Absent from prior work related to RMBS securitization is the tax treatment of RMBS mortgage-note pools and the critical role tax enforcement should play in ensuring the integrity of mortgage-note securitization.
This Article is the first to examine federal tax aspects of RMBS mortgage-note pools formed …

This thesis explores how impairment charges driven by management assessment have led to the possibility of earnings management under the SFAS 142 standard.

The fact that these weaknesses are not adequately addressed or rectified suggests that …
