issuance of FASB ASC 805 Business Combinations [previously SFAS No. 141(R)].
CPAs will now need to fully grasp the effects of FASB ASC 805 [previously SFAS
No. 141(R)]. This course goes beyond the "what" by using various case studies
to show you "how" to implement these new requirements.
Apply the significant provisions of FASB ASC 805 [previously SFAS No. 141(R)]
and the implications of the standard on the accounting for business combinations
Tackle specific issues such as acquisition negotiations and deal structures,
the effect on financial projections used to model the acquisition, the effect
on future earnings forecasts and debt covenants, the expanded required
disclosures, and the additional internal controls and skills needed to
meet the required use of fair values and various measurement and
re-measurement periods
Discuss the impact on the content, timing and method of communications
to stakeholders impacted by the implementation of FASB ASC 805 [previously
SFAS No. 141(R)]
Prerequisite: A basic understanding of FASB ASC 805 [previously SFAS No.
