Financial Reporting Risks (FRR)
Set-up Activities
FRR Webcast Series — Part 2
Tuesday, June 12, 2012 10am PDT
Set-up, implementation, and installation activities (“set-up services”) are offered by many vendors in various industries. Set-up services generally are provided to the customer at the inception of the relationship. There is little, if any, guidance in the literature on financial reporting these services. Preparers, investors, and auditors face many risks in the recognition, measurement, disclosures, and analysis of these activities.
Please join us on Tuesday, June 12, 2012 for a two-hour webcast beginning at 10 am (PDT) when EITF Member Tony Sondhi (author, instructor, and one of the preeminent experts in the field of revenue recognition) inaugurates his new webcast series on Financial Reporting Risks with the first webcast on Set-up activities. He will address the significant challenges set-up activities present to preparers, investors, and auditors. You will learn about the following critical issues (among others) in this webcast:
