New York, NY, October 09, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Congress, the leading producer of regulatory focused webinars announced today that Linda L. Griggs, Partner of Morgan Lewis will speak at the Knowledge Congress’ upcoming webinar entitled: “Statement 5 and 141R Loss Contingency Disclosures”.

(For further details of the event and an updated list of panelists, please visit: http://www.knowledgecongress.org/event_2008_FASB5.html)
Recently, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has proposed a new guidance regarding the disclosure of Certain Loss Contingencies. The amendment to FAS 5 and FAS 141R would make clearer the probability and timing in cash flow issues related to loss contingencies. The new proposal would require: greater descriptions of the risks/losses and their associated factors, claim amounts, annual disclosures, descriptive reconciliation, and exceptions.
The Knowledge Congress is assembling a panel of distinguished professionals and key regulators to help understand FAS5/141R and its impact on your firm and the broader market. The speakers will present their expert opinions in a two-hour Live webinar.
