Understanding Issues of Significance to Stand-Alone BTAs Resulting From Select Recent GASB Standards
Special-purpose governments engaged only in business-type activities (BTAs) have unique financial reporting considerations. Register today for the live Governmental Audit Quality Center webcast Understanding Issues of Significance to Stand-Alone BTAs Resulting From Select Recent GASB Standards, which will focus primarily on stand-alone BTAs that have component units rather than general-purpose governments with BTAs in their reporting entity.
If you are an auditor or preparer of governmental hospitals or health care providers, governmental colleges or universities, public utilities, or another special-purpose government that is a BTA, please consider attending this session. It will be presented by members of three different AICPA Expert Panels: Health Care, Not-for-Profit, and State and Local Governments.

Webcast Discussing the Release of the Accounting and Valuation Guide Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation
Since the issuance of FASB ASC 718 (formerly FASB Statement No. 123R) in 2004, valuing stock-based compensation ("cheap stock") has been a significant challenge for private companies. The final version of the revised AICPA Accounting and Valuation Guide Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation is expected to be released at the end of May. It is the culmination of four years of effort, updating the original 2004 publication by the same name to reflect best practices developed over the previous decade. Join us for this webcast during which representatives from the task force that updated this guide will discuss the key topics covered in the revised guide, including the following:
- Chapter that provides a framework for evaluating private and secondary market transactions
- Chapter that discusses adjustments for control and marketability
- New discussion on highly leveraged entities
- New discussion on the relevance of FASB ASC 820 (FASB Statement No. 157) to cheap stock issues
Register for this webcast today to learn more about the new AICPA Accounting and Valuation Guide. Remember, FVS section members and ABV and CFF credential holders receive a $20 discount.
You can attend this webcast either on May 29 (2–4 p.m. ET) or on June 25 (1–3 p.m. ET). |
