The Knowledge Congress Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on FAS 109 & IAS 12 Explored: A 2011 Update

New York, NY, October 23, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled: “FAS 109 & IAS 12 Explored: A 2011 Update”. This two-hour event is scheduled on May 12, 2011 at 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET.

Event synopsis:

Tax, accounting and business professionals must be continuously updated about regulatory developments and changes, as the accounting and finance reporting landscape is dynamic and ever changing.

FAS 109 replaced previous standards for deferred income tax reporting. It presents many advantages for companies such as easier recognition of deferred tax assets and reduction of complexity. Companies must have a complete understanding of FAS 109 to maximize its benefits and ensure compliance.

Recently, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published an exposure draft entitled Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets. This proposal aims to amend the accounting for deferred tax under IAS 12. For a more practical approach, the proposed amendment would presume that an asset is recovered through sale unless the entity has evidence that the recovery will occur in another manner. This would apply to investment properties, property, plant, equipment and intangible assets when re-measured at fair value.

This 2-hour Live webcast sponsored by The Knowledge Group is specifically tailored to the needs and demands of tax and accounting practitioners. Some of the best in the industry will discuss the substantial developments and most critical issues surrounding FAS 109 and IAS 12. A live interaction with the audience in a question and answer format is also included in this event.

This is an event for all CPAs, tax executives, consultants, attorneys and financial executives Advanced registration is advised as space is limited and significant discounts apply to early registrants.
