This course is for persons with a sound knowledge of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) who would like to have an update of the recent pronouncements issued by the FASB, as well as new reporting requirements from the SEC.  Structured as either a one-day or a 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.

GAAP Seminars is offering awareness sessions, scheduled from between two hours to an entire day, to executives, analysts, accountants, consultants and others looking to obtain an understanding of the key implications of the IASB’s and FASB’s planned changes in the areas of revenue recognition, leasing, financial instruments, consolidation, and insurance contracts. The sessions will cover the changes in accounting and financial reporting and their potential impacts on investor relations and analysis, IT systems, front office/operations, and regulatory. As the sessions are aimed at a diverse group of participants, there will be an opportunity to hold a “forum” on the potential impacts on the company/clients from various points of view.
