Description

Sometimes we can avoid addressing the "elephant in the room" for a while. However, when there are three elephants in the room, it is time to address the issues. Designed for practitioners and their staff, whether in public accounting or business and industry, this course provides a comprehensive review and update of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) "Big Three" accounting and reporting areas - revenue recognition, leases and financial instruments. Focus on recently issued Accounting Standards Updates and exposure drafts, covering these critical areas of your practice or organization. Analyze the Big Three, which have a major effect on all industries, using examples and illustrations to provide a hands-on approach that will help you better assess and implement the new standards and guidance applicable to your clients or organization.
