In today’s ever-changing financial landscape, professionals in the world of financial reporting face a constant challenge – staying up-to-date with the intricate nuances of the US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Recognizing this need for continuous learning and adaptation, Shasat, a well-respected name in professional education, has unveiled an extensive two-day US GAAP update program. This initiative is designed to empower financial professionals with the essential knowledge and skills required to navigate the dynamic world of US GAAP effectively.

The US GAAP is a complex framework that frequently undergoes revisions, releases discussion papers, exposure drafts, and conducts research projects. Keeping abreast of these changes is vital, but it can be a daunting task. Shasat’s new program is geared towards filling this knowledge gap and arming participants with a comprehensive understanding of the latest developments within the realm of US GAAP.

The program encompasses a wide spectrum of critical topics, including new accounting standards, insights into comments and concerns raised by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in-depth analysis of discussion papers and exposure drafts issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), updates from the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), and their ramifications on current practices. Additionally, it covers annual improvement projects, provides insights into FASB’s project timeline, and sheds light on recent accounting scandals and their potential implications.

Shasat’s CECL Workshop empowers professionals with a deep understanding of the CECL model, offering practical insights and real-world examples.

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) introduced its Accounting Standards Update on Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC 326), commonly referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) model. This ground-breaking change revolutionized how banks estimate credit losses and carried significant implications for financial institutions and entities with financial assets and net investments in leases.
Despite the passage of several years, numerous organizations continue to grapple with the implementation of the CECL model and refining their approach to adhere to the new accounting standards outlined in this impairment framework. The impact on organizational processes and systems has proven to be substantial, necessitating technical expertise, meticulous planning, and strategic considerations for a successful transition.
In response to the ongoing need for clarity and guidance, Shasat, a distinguished leader in professional education, has introduced a two-day Impairment Workshop. This intensive course is specifically designed to empower professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the CECL model, its proposed implementation, and the challenges encountered during the transition. The workshop will also draw valuable insights from past accounting changes, explore practical and strategic implications of Topic 326, and delve into the regulatory landscape and other significant accounting modifications affecting it.
