Event Overview
Join our National Assurance Office professionals for the Spring 2026 Accounting & Auditing Update, where we will walk through recently issued Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) that are effective for upcoming financial statements, along with significant standards on the horizon and current FASB projects that may shape future reporting requirements. Our team will share practical insights to help you understand what these changes mean for your organization and how to prepare for implementation.
In addition to accounting updates, we will explore common financial reporting challenges and auditing deficiencies frequently identified through quality reviews. Attendees will gain perspective on areas that continue to create issues in practice and learn strategies to improve reporting accuracy and strengthen audit quality.
The program will also include an ethics and independence session addressing key considerations for CPAs in both business and public practice, including emerging risk areas and best practices for maintaining compliance.
Designed for accounting and finance professionals who want to stay informed on current developments, this update provides practical guidance and insights to help you navigate the evolving financial reporting and assurance landscape.
Note: Our Fall Accounting & Auditing Update will cover similar content to the spring session. You are only eligible to receive CPE credit for attending one A&A Update series per year, either the Spring or Fall, but not both.
