The world of professional accounting in the United States is changing forever. While most financial managers and CPAs are aware of the potential incorporation of International Financial Reporting Standards into U.S. GAAP, many are not sensitive to the potential changes resulting from FASB's convergence project and the impact of changes in accounting standards for non-public companies from the FASB and the AICPA. These three elements--adoption, convergence and FASB and AICPA private company reporting--come together to form Accounting's Perfect Storm. The changing climate will mandate monumental changes in reporting, operations and financial systems. You cannot afford to miss this entertaining and interactive course.
