Held in Zurich, Switzerland, this open enrollment offering of our U.S. GAAP Update course changes with the times and keeps you up-to-date on the requirements of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP).  This two-day workshop provides an overview of significant changes in U.S. GAAP and Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) reporting and covers the latest accounting pronouncements.

This course is for persons with a sound knowledge of U.S. GAAP looking for an update of recent developments from the FASB and SEC, an overview of the FASB’s work plan and EITF work in progress, and insights into hot topics and comments raised by the SEC relating to financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It can be structured as either a one or two day course. We will emphasize essential learning points through the use of practical examples and class discussions.

Using our vast library of U.S. GAAP training materials, we assemble a tailored, modular training designed to teach participants the requirements of U.S. GAAP based on their individual needs. This includes recognition and measurement of key financial statement line items, as well as presentation and disclosure requirements, to ensure that the financial statements are in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Depending on time and/or cost constraints, we tailor the course by adding case studies and illustrations, usually taken from your annual report, that reflect the accounting issues impacting your company. We can even add excerpts of accounting policies and/or journal entries to the training, to ensure that key areas important to your company are emphasized.
