Introduction to US GAAP Training
US GAAP is often quoted as being more rules based than IFRS which can make it feel daunting when approaching it for the first time.
Over recent times there have been efforts to bring US GAAP and IFRS/UK GAAP closer together. Whilst there has been some progress in this area there are still differences between the different reporting frameworks. This course is appropriate for those who perhaps work for a US subsidiary based in the UK, or are looking to move to a US owned organisation.
We have designed a practical workshop which will break down the perceived challenges of US reporting and improve your confidence with and understanding of US GAAP and how it differs to either IFRS or UK GAAP.
