Live Stream: CFO Series Day 2 - Minding the GAAP

Description

Deciphering Balance Sheet Accounting Issues
We mostly focus on the income statement, but what about other accounting concerns? This seminar discusses multiple common balance sheet issues, both on the books and off, that have an impact on our stakeholders and the value of the organization. Using practical analysis and case discussions, we highlight several key tools in understanding and communicating the importance of the cornerstone of accounting: the balance sheet. We must understand the real drivers of accounting issues to ensure that the balance sheet will be exemplary.

Lease or Buy, Debt or Equity: The Financing Decision, Theory and Practice
Is there a perfect mix of financing that we should aspire to achieve? What does financial theory tell us we should do? What is the cost of our financing decisions? Should we lease an asset or buy it outright? How do we analyze this decision? How can we survive financial distress? These are all topics that every enterprise faces. In this seminar, we will look at theory and practice to help resolve the dilemmas. If you are involved with financing the organization, this seminar is essential.

Dealing With Ever-Changing Accounting Standards and Other Demands
GAAP is changing at an increasing rate. Financial leaders are faced with the dual challenge of navigating evolving accounting standards while strategically guiding their organizations toward sustainable growth and profitability. What are the newer accounting changes that will impact professional accounting? This seminar will equip finance professionals with the critical skills and practical insights needed to effectively manage the complexities of ever-changing accounting standards and upgrade your essential strategic planning skills. Strategies that do not keep pace with the market are doomed to fail. If we do not keep up, our successor will.

SALT for CFOs: What You Don't Know and Should Know
The changes to state and local taxation are numerous and profound. What are the major changes to state and local taxes (SALT) beyond Wayfair? Be aware of the new, creative methods used to raise taxes. Why does every state need more revenue? How have the rules changed? What information, accounting systems and software could be helpful? Virtually every organization may not be SALT-compliant; the risk is real. For leaders who are not tax-focused, you at least need to understand the risks of noncompliance and to learn more about minimizing those risks. Avoid penalties!
