2081: US GAAP Technical Update (2-day course)
This two-day course offers participants the benefits of both a US GAAP technical update and a workshop on the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The first day of the course comprises a technical update that brings delegates up-to-date with the changes to US GAAP that have been issued, amended or became effective during the past 12 months and provides information on other recent and impending pronouncements. Included in the technical update is a progress report on current Exposure Documents and ongoing projects. Topics to be covered are finalised in the run-up to the course in order to be as current as possible. Using examples and case studies for illustration, the technical update concisely covers recent and pending changes in US GAAP.
Technical update topics include:
- Financial Reporting Improvements Project
- Financial Statement Presentation
- Revenue Recognition – Multiple Deliverables (ASU 2009-13) and Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (ASU 2009-14)
- Joint Revenue Project with IASB
- Fair Value Measurements
- Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06)
- Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (ASU 2009-05)

The second day of the programme examines current FASB projects, including standards projects and Emerging Issue Task Force Projects. The course also highlights joint projects being pursued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the International Accounting Standards Board as part of their convergence and improvements agenda. In February 2010 the SEC confirmed its support for a single set of global accounting standards and nominated IFRS as best placed to fulfill that role. It has instituted a ‘Work Plan’ that will lead to a decision in 2011 about mandatory application of IFRS for US domestic registrants. During the second day delegates will also learn about the FASB Accounting Standards Codification in its present form, as well as expected developments and anticipated impacts relating to IFRS adoption. Real-world illustrations and hands-on practice are used to enhance and reinforce learning.
Codification topics include:
- FASB Accounting Standards Codification
- Brief background on Codification development and purpose
- GAAP hierarchies and codification impact (US GAAP hierarchy, IFRS hierarchy, the impact of codification)
- How the Codification works (current status, application under IFRS adoption)
- Applying the Codification (examples using the Codification to research accounting topics)
- Codification practice (problem solving applied to accounting issues).
