GAAP Update Webinar

Identify and understand changes to significant topics and subtopics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) resulting from Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) that became effective during calendar year 2018 or 2019 and those scheduled to become effective during calendar year 2020 or 2021. Determine whether each ASU applies to financial statements the accountant is associated with and whether they are required to be adopted. Understand how to make the transition from current standards to the requirements of each applicable ASU. Identify which financial statements are affected by the change and which elements of financial reporting are affected. Distinguish between ASUs that involve changing from one method of accounting to another from those that retain current methods but change one or more aspects of them.
