Stamos C. Nicholas, National Business Valuation Service Line Leader, Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP to Speak at KC’s Event on SFAS 144 on 2/26/2009
New York, NY, December 12, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Congress, the leading producer of regulatory focused webinars announced today that Stamos Nicholas, National Business Valuation Service Line Leader, Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP will speak at the Knowledge Congress’ upcoming webinar entitled: “SFAS 144: Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. This 2-hour event is scheduled on February 26, 2009, Thursday, at 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM ET. (For further details of the event and an updated list of panelists, please visit: http://knowledgecongress.org/event_2008_SFAS_144.html)
SFAS 144 modifies the accounting for asset write downs and discontinued operations. It retains the SFAS 121 requirements for recognizing and measuring impairment losses, supersedes accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, and amends ARB No. 51 on consolidated financial statements. It uses traditional fair-value measurements to assess whether long-lived assets are permanently impaired. This, however, brought about confusion among various sectors. Your company could likely be one of those affected by these statements. Be guided, be enlightened and be wary to avoid sanctions in the end.
The Knowledge Congress is assembling a panel of experts to discuss the implications of this statement as well as their recommendations on how your company can adapt to this new system. The speakers will present their expert opinions in a two-hour Live Webinar.
