KEY ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING DEVELOPMENTS
October 28 | Las Vegas, Nevada | Caesars Palace hotel information

Accounting and auditing standards are changing as fast as ever. The FASB/IASB joint projects and convergence efforts have resulted in a flood of pronouncements and exposure drafts affecting a wide spectrum of companies and industries. This conference is designed to filter through the mass of changes and to present the issues and changes with an emphasis on what you need to know right now.

GENERAL SESSIONS
Current FASB Activities: An Accounting Update
This session will provide you with an overview of new, and newly effective, accounting pronouncements. This session is focused on helping auditors understand the likely applicability and impact of new standards on their clients.

Auditing Standards Update: New Standards and the Impact of Clarity
Topics in this session include a review of recently issued auditing standards and an evaluation of the ASB's clarity project. The session includes a summary and analysis of differences between the clarified and original auditing standards.

CONCURRENT SESSIONS
Latest Findings from Regulators: DOL, OMB, GOA, HUD, and PCAOB
Reviewing their findings is a great way to understand the issues regulators are focused on and identify risks in your own practice. This session covers a wide range of topics from a broad spectrum of practice areas, with a focus on helping you identify trends, recognize issues, improve quality and stay out of trouble.

Future Issues for the Profession: What's Coming and What It Means
The profession is changing as fast as ever. This session is a discussion and analysis of the issues stemming from exposure drafts, the FASB agenda, private company financial reporting, IFRS, regulation and more.

On the Books: The New Lease Accounting Rules
Few exposure drafts have generated as much discussion as the FASB's proposed ASU on Leases. With sweeping changes to lessee and lessor accounting, this standard is expected to have a wide impact across businesses and industries. This session is focused on the new accounting treatment for leases, but will also include discussion of implementation issues and challenges.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value: Practice Issues and New Standards
In the past few years, fair value measures and disclosures have become major issues in auditing and financial reporting, with a near constant stream of new rules and proposals. Topics in this session include a recap of significant recently-issued standards, a discussion of accounting and auditing practice issues, and a preview of things to come.

Revenue Recognition: Understanding the New and Proposed Rules
Revenue recognition is always a key consideration for auditors. The FASB recently issued an exposure draft that would modify revenue recognition in significant ways. This session includes an update on the status of proposals, an explanation of new rules, and a discussion of implementation challenges related to new or proposed revenue recognition accounting rules.

Compilation and Review: Update and Issues
This session will update you on the developments related to compilations and reviews; including an analysis of common deficiencies and peer review findings.

IFRS Briefing
Convergence with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has already had a significant impact on standard-setters and the rest of the profession. Topics in this session include a briefing on the current status of adoption, the impact and of convergence, standard-setter remaining agendas, and questions about the effect on the profession.
