As summer begins to wind down, it can only mean one thing in the world of accounting and auditing (and no, I’m not talking about employee benefit plan audits): It’s update season! Accountants and auditors alike are looking at ways to earn those all-important “A&A” or Accounting and Audit credits as part of their continuing professional education (CPE) credits. Well, I am here to say: Look no further than GAAP Dynamics! We are pleased to announce a new, FREE, course series designed to give you a preview of our popular update courses. So, if you’re looking for a U.S. GAAP Update, IFRS Update, or Audit Update, this is a great opportunity for you to preview the content at a higher level and earn CPE too! Each Hot Topics course is designed to provide a discussion of the economic and regulatory environment and its impact on financial reporting or auditing, it takes a high-level look at the standard setting landscape, including listing recently issued amendments and/or standards and their effective dates, and it concludes by taking a look at one or two recently issued standards or amendments. Let’s take a look at each free CPE-eligible course in more detail:
