Accounting Trends Webcast
What You Need to Know for 2008
January 18, 2008 - 11:00 AM EST
Join Marc Siegel, RiskMetrics Group's Global Head of Financial Research and Analysis, on a webcast covering accounting and financial reporting trends in 2008. You can expect to receive the whole story about the key themes and specifics which will impact you this year in analyzing companies. This webcast will look back at aggressive reporting techniques and unconventional methods management has used to mask operational deterioration in their businesses and how you can learn to challenge a company's assertions on reported metrics going forward. Examples will be given where reverse-engineering company data through forensic financial accounting, or deep-dive analysis, has yielded results that have either corroborated or disproved the reported results. In addition to uncovering companies' hidden risk in the marketplace, Mr. Siegel will discuss accounting issues that should be at the forefront of investors’ minds, as well as what regulators are focusing on in 2008.
