GAAP Seminars was formed in 2001 by Richard Stokes, Lisa Fernihough and Mike Walworth to combine their collective experience to better serve their existing clients. The main focus of GAAP Seminars is the design, development and delivery of tailored financial training and consulting to companies and accounting firms worldwide. We are experts in the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and International Financial and Reporting Standards (IFRS) and our courses are continually updated to reflect recent developments. Extensive knowledge of worldwide accounting standards helps us to develop customized seminars comparing local GAAP to either U.S. GAAP or IFRS. In addition to accounting training, we have delivered seminars covering:

• Compliance with regulations mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
• Understanding the requirements and impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
• Ensuring compliance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards (U.S. GAAS) and International Standards on Auditing (ISA)
• Applying modern valuation techniques used in assessing fair values and related impairment issues
