New York, NY, October 15, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Congress, the leading producer of regulatory focused webinars announced today that Richard Marshall, Partner of Ropes & Gray, LLP will speak at the Knowledge Congress’ upcoming webinar entitled: “Statement 157 Fair Value Accounting for Non Profits”. This 2-hour event is scheduled on Monday, November 24, 2008, at 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET. (For further details of the event and an updated list of panelists, please visit: http://www.knowledgecongress.org/event_2008_S157NP.html)
Introduced in September 2006 for public companies, FAS No. 157 helped to more clearly define measuring fair value in GAAP and has also expanded fair value measurement disclosures. Recently, adoption in implementation of Statement No. 157 is starting to become a significant accounting issue for non-profit entities - and is on the radar of most in this sector.
The Knowledge Congress is assembling a panel of distinguished professionals and key regulators to help understand Statement No 157 for non-profits and its impact on the broader market. The speakers will present their expert opinions in a two-hour Live Webinar.
