FAF to Host Roundtables and Webcast

November 7, 2011

The Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF) will sponsor three public roundtables early next year and a live webcast later this month to enable interested parties to express their views and learn more about the FAF’s proposal to improve accounting standard setting for private companies.

The hour-long webcast, set for November 18 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. EST, and the three roundtables, scheduled for next January and February in Atlanta, Dallas and Palo Alto, will focus on the FAF’s recently issued Plan to Establish the Private Company Standards Improvement Council.

Participants in the live broadcast will have the opportunity to submit questions during the event. A complete CPE course description and registration information are available at www.accountingfoundation.org.

Any individual or organization representing private company stakeholders interested in participating in the roundtables should complete and submit an online application form on or before December 16. Those wishing to participate in the roundtables must submit their written comments on the FAF plan by January 6, 2012. Written comments may be sent to Private Company Plan, Financial Accounting Foundation, 401 Merritt 7, Norwalk, Connecticut 06856. Comments also may be submitted online at: [email protected].
