Accounting
Concepts and Emerging Issues at FASAB and GASB
August 2, 2006
AGA, in
conjunction with the National Association of State Auditors,
Comptrollers and Treasurers (NASACT) and the Association of
Local Government Auditors (A.L.G.A.), is pleased to announce a
new audio conference addressing Accounting Concepts and Emerging
Issues at the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board
(FASAB) and the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
This audio conference offers a
unique opportunity to hear from three accounting standards board
chairpersons on evolving concepts that drive accounting
standards. The panelists will discuss:
-
the conceptual frameworks
being developed at the two boards;
-
what future standards may
arise as a result of new concepts;
-
how the new standards may
affect preparers, auditors and uses; and
-
the progress made in
financial and performance reporting during the last ten
years and the goals for the next ten.
To discuss
these issues are David Mosso, who will be concluding his
ten-year term as chairperson of FASAB at the end of 2006, Tom
Allen, former chairperson of GASB and Mr. Mosso’s planned
successor at FASAB, and Robert Attmore, current chairperson at
GASB.
Please join us
for two hours of lively discussion about these important and
timely topics. In addition to the speakers' presentations, there
will be 20 minutes for Q & A so that the participants can ask
the speakers questions and share their own experiences.
