Concerned that you may have missed some important developments during the past year? This half-day session will address recent economic, financial, and managerial developments that impacted the accounting profession and the responsibilities of financial professionals in the private sector. We’ll review new business trends, the factors that influence growing and declining industry sectors, macro and micro issues, and new voluntary standards. Heavy reliance will be placed on formal industry guidance and “real world” case examples as we explore the tension between value maximization and risk minimization.
