CPE Hours Available!

AGA, in
conjunction with the National Association of State Auditors,
Comptrollers and Treasurers (NASACT) and the Association of
Local Government Auditors (ALGA), is pleased to announce a new
audio conference addressing 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 two key
officials of the Federal, State and local accounting standards
board on evolving concepts that drive accounting standards. The
speakers 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 users;
-
the impact
of international accounting standards on the two boards; and
-
the
progress being made in financial and performance reporting
during the last ten years and the goals for the next ten.
To discuss
these issues are Wendy M. Payne, CPA, CGFM, Executive Director
of FASAB, and David R. Bean, CPA, Director of Research and
Technical Activities 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.
