Practical, effective training led by Hedge Trackers consultants and
delivered in a friendly, small-group environment at our Cupertino, CA

issues.
Another benefit of our interactive, workshop approach is that it fosters peer networking, and relationships are built around the table that will extend and enhance our guests' technical and professional capabilities.
Each course is half-day and earns 4 CPE credits. To ensure we are able
to maximize the value for each attendee we are limiting class size,
so please register as early as possible. As classes fill we will provide
alternative dates to accommodate all registrations.
The Road to IFRS - Introduction to IAS 39 - One-Hour Webinar
Registration:
In February of 2009, the SEC issued a proposal that would require US companies to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for financial statement preparation and reporting beginning in 2014. This one-hour webinar will introduce the derivative accounting and disclosure concepts International Accounting Standard (IAS) 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement", known to be a much more comprehensive accounting standard.
The session will examine the similarities and differences in documentation, effectiveness testing and accounting for cash flow and fair value hedges between IAS 39 and ASC 815 (FAS 133). We will consider potential changes or additions to existing hedge programs and the application of fair value guidance as it relates to derivatives and hedged items to the international standard, the steps toward convergence and the most recent published timeline will be examined.
