<present a consistent set of books to shareholders and IRS>

Well that right there is extremely flawed. The IRS regulations and code contain social engineering allowances, special interest deductions, special interest additions to income, and much much more.

What the IRS code doesn't do is the exact thing you want a set of books to do best:

Simply Match Expenses to the Revenue they produce.

They take an expense as the options are exercised not as they are granted. I believe the argument is that companies should expense options as they are granted. As far as I know, no one is arguing that the company should take the Black-Scholes value of the option granted as a line item to be expensed for tax purposes at the time it is granted. Correct me if I'm wrong.
