Description

This session is a must-attend-event for any professional accountant tasked with development of financial statement disclosures accompanying financial statements destined for either an employer or firm client. This is a non-patronizing, back-to-basics workshop that thoroughly reviews what constitutes adequate disclosure in financial statements presented under various user scenarios. This session will, specifically, address topics related to financial statement disclosure when the applicable financial reporting framework is an other-than-GAAP (Special Purpose Framework) framework. Numerous examples of frequently encountered financial statement disclosures are provided throughout this hear-it-today, apply-it-tomorrow session. This is the comprehensive review of basic financial statement disclosure skills that virtually every peer review committee has been looking for - for years.
