Emerging Issues at FASAB and GASB: The Landscape is Changing
AN AGA TRAINING AUDIO CONFERENCE 
March 26, 2008
2 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.
