Course Description

After five years in the making, the FASB approved the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the single source of authoritative GAAP as of July 1, 2009. The Codification is effective for annual or interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. At that time, the FASB superseded all legacy accounting standards. The FASB developed the Codification as a result of a significant amount of user feedback for easier to use, topically-organized standards. The Codification introduces an entirely new structure and numbering approach. This session will provide you with an introduction and walkthrough of the Codification structure, an update on timing, an overview of the approach to new standards, and related items to consider when preparing and auditing financial statements.
