Virtual Training: Free Quarterly Accounting Webinar Series for Clients

COVID-19 has not been good for live classroom training. It’s now been officially over a year since we facilitated a live, in-person training event. Needless to say, the pandemic forced us into virtual training, so we performed A LOT of accounting webinars last year. Nearly 10,000 people attended webinars facilitated by GAAP Dynamics in 2020, and, based on the feedback, it appears participants were very happy. Not too shabby!

If you’ve never experienced one of our webinars, we hope that you’ll give ours a try. Our webinars are interactive and application-based, with plenty of examples to illustrate key learning points. And, with GAAP Dynamics, you know it will be fun!

Well, it’s now 2021, and with the pandemic still in effect and in-person training events still uncertain, we figured we’d run it back! Here are the dates and topics for our 2021 quarterly accounting webinar series. Each webinar is scheduled for 90 minutes (1.5 CPE credits), beginning at 11:00 am EST.

Overview of ASUs Effective in 2021 (Thursday, May 6, 2021)

The FASB never sleeps and despite a wave of big standards issued over the past few years, new Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) continue to be issued that impact financial accounting and reporting under U.S. GAAP. This webinar covers those ASUs applicable to both public and private entities that are effective in 2021. Accounting updates are a necessary evil, but that doesn’t mean they have to be mind-numbingly boring. We invite you to check it out for yourself and experience the GAAP Dynamics difference.

Applying ASC 326 (CECL) to Non-Banking Entities (Thursday, June 10, 2021)

Between adopting ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, banks took quite the “hit” to their allowance for credit losses in 2020. But did you know that the CECL model prescribed by ASC 326 also applies to other financial instruments measured at amortized cost, including trade receivables and contract assets? Therefore, ASC 326 is applicable to all entities, not just financial institutions. This webinar discusses practical ways that non-banking entities can apply the CECL model, including possible methodologies to arrive at their estimate of credit losses.

Overview of ASC 740, Income Taxes (Thursday, September 9, 2021)

In 2020 we had three blog posts that, combined, had over 42,000 views! The topic: accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes! Who knew taxes were so popular? Figuring if this many people were interested in the topic perhaps others would be too, we decided to do a webinar on it. In this webinar, we’ll discuss the accounting and reporting for income taxes under U.S. GAAP, including current taxes, deferred taxes (and the related valuation allowance), and uncertain tax positions.
