New York, NY, July 08, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Congress, the leading producer of regulatory-focused webcasts has announced today that Charles C. (Chester) Abell, Jr., Director of Tax Accrual Services, Tax Accounting and Risk Advisory Services of Ernst & Young LLP will speak at the Knowledge Congress’ upcoming webcast entitled: “FAS 109 & IAS 12 Explored.” The event is scheduled on May 15, 2009, Friday, at 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT. (For further details of the event and an updated list of panelists, please visit: http://www.knowledgecongress.org/event_2008_FAS109.html)
The IASB has issued an Exposure Document that would replace IAS 12 that would eliminate a number of the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS in the accounting for income taxes. This would reconcile the distinctions between FAS 109 and IAS 12 resulting in improved accounting methods for income taxes of companies.
The Knowledge Congress is producing a two-hour webcast aiming to discuss the important aspects, as well as the impact of this joint undertaking to affected industries. Industry experts and standard setters are scheduled to speak at this event.
