The Knowledge Congress Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on Critical GASB Issues for 2009

Jersey City, NJ, March 20, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Congress, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast on Critical GASB Issues for 2009. This two-hour event is scheduled on Wednesday, July 8, 2009, at 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM (EDT – New Jersey).

In the last several years, GASB has issued a number of accounting statements that have significantly changed the way government entities report and disclose financial information. This year, certain GASB statements will change how government finance executives do their accounting and financial reporting. Of primary concern will be the continuous redefining of GAAP for state and local governments, as well as other issues resulting to GASB's latest pronouncements. Theiur experts will attempt to explain what’s going on now and take a look ahead to additional accounting changes that may soon affect the public sector.

The Knowledge Congress is assembling a panel of distinguished thought leaders, professionals and key regulators to help government financial executives understand issues arising from the statements coming into effect this year. The speakers will present their expert opinions in a two-hour Live webcast.
