It can be time-consuming and confusing to keep up-to-date on the resulting impact on financial statements and disclosures. This course provides an executive summary of U.S. GAAP updates with open effective dates for 2018 or thereafter related to public and nonpublic business entities.
Learning Objectives

- Clarifications in statement of cash flow presentation
- Alterations in classifying deferred tax assets and liabilities, and more
- Explore where financial statement preparers should focus the most time and attention when preparing 2018 interim and annual financial statements, such as:
- Clarifying the concept of materiality and useful disclosures
- Reporting of pension costs
- Defining a business versus a group of assets, and more
- Identify the most significant accounting and financial reporting changes with future effective dates that business entities should be preparing for now, such as revenue recognition, leases, and financial instruments

GAAP update is always a very convoluted and abstract subject to be cramped into a 1.5 hr course without making it impossible for the practitioners to visualize the updated concept. Am I the only one who wishes that they could just stop updating GAAP like Miscrosoft updates Windows? I doubt these frequent GAAP updates are going to make the average investors make better investment decisions.
CPAs and public accountants looking to update their knowledge of new accounting standards in effect would find this course useful, as well as those who are involved in preparing an entity's financial statements and footnotes.
I feel this course would be of more benefit if it were broken down into 2 1 hr sessions. This was a lot of material to absorb in an hour and a half.
Great overview of GAAP update for 2017 and beyond. The instructor was effective in explaining the various changes in plain English.
Well organized - it's a lot of information, but the presenter boiled it down to the important highlights very well.
For revenue recognition, the Final Exam references ASC 606; slides reference ASU 2014-09. Please be consistent.
Great summary of major topics - enough details to make the information relevant without bogging down in details
Acceptable for a general quick overview, but not useful to assist in implementation of any of the concepts.
What you would expect for a foundation level course. The questions proved to be a nice refresher.
Great summary of Accounting Standard changes. I plan to print the presentation as a handy guide.
Not an easy task to get all this information summarized--good job and very helpful.
