Speaker: Adrian Mills, Practice Fellow, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)

Program Description:  An Update on Recent Proposals to U.S. GAAP
Adrian will provide a general overview of some of the more recent proposals from FASB to U.S. GAAP accounting rules, specifically touching on:

• Accounting for the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
• Disclosure about certain loss contingencies    (discuss FASB's re-deliberations of the project-disclosure objective, stages of a contingency's life cycle, thresholds, qualitative and quantitative disclosures) 
• Disclosures about an employers participation in a multiemployer plan
• Any other topics that FASB is working on that you think may be of particular interest for this group of regulators, financial services personnel, etc.
• The FASB exposure draft released May 26th that would narrow exceptions to instruments that must be marked-to-market and increase recognition and disclosure requirements in financial statements.
