Nicolas Morgan, Partner, DLA Piper to Speak at KC’s Sweeping Changes in Revenue Recognition Coming: Are You Prepared? Live Webcast
New York, NY, February 20, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, has announced today that Nicolas Morgan, Partner, DLA Piper will speak at the Knowledge Congress’ webcast entitled: “Sweeping Changes in Revenue Recognition Coming: Are You prepared? Live Webcast”. This event is scheduled for April 21, 2011 at 12:00 PM -2:00 PM ET.

Event Synopsis:
A joint proposal issued by The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) may significantly alter how companies approach revenue recognition. The proposal could impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized by companies across a variety of industries, including software, real estate, construction, and many others. In addition, this proposal is a key step in the IASB’s and FASB’s joint efforts to converge their accounting standards, and the outcome of the project may have an effect on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s decision, expected in the second half of 2011, about whether, and if so, how, to incorporate International Financial Reporting Standards into the U.S. financial reporting system. This proposal and the ultimate regulatory activity produced will no doubt represent challenges to adopters impacting all facets of financial reporting.
In this 2-hour live webcast, a panel of speaker experts and thought leaders organized by The Knowledge Group will provide an overview to help you understand the critical elements of the proposal and its potential effects on companies’ revenue recognition practices.
