Acquisition Accounting Webcast: New Rules & Shenanigans

February 26, 2008 - 10:00 AM EST

This webcast will cover the implications of the new accounting standard on mergers and acquisitions (FAS 141R and FAS 160) and how these changes could significantly impact companies’ financial results. Two of RiskMetrics Group's research analysts will discuss what investors and analysts should know about the new rules from both the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). We will also discuss how the new standards likely won’t lead to an improved quality of financial reporting, both before and after the adoption date of FAS 141R.
