New York, NY, May 11, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, has announced today that Charlotte Lo, Senior Manager, KPMG LLP will speak at the Knowledge Group’s webcast entitled: “Emerging Issues on Leases: What You Need to Know.” This event is scheduled for September 22, 2015 from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm (ET).

Event Synopsis:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a joint proposal that could significantly alter how companies account for leases. The FASB and IASB (the Boards) have started their re-deliberations in March 2014 following the publication of the revised Leases Exposure Draft in March 2013 and has targeted 2015 to issue the final standard. As evidenced by 600+ comment letters received by the Boards, the proposed changes will no doubt represent financial reporting, regulatory and in some jurisdictions, tax reporting challenges to adopters. Other significant challenges such as data capture, system updates or procurement, lease vs. buy decision, contract management and human resources are also expected.
In this 2-hour live webcast, a panel of key thought leaders organized by The Knowledge Group will provide an overview to help you understand the accounting of the proposed changes, status of the re-deliberations and the potential effects of the changes on companies’ businesses.
