Course Overview

When first embarking on a journey of the FASB ASC, after the discussion of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in ASC Topic 105, one of the first overall topics relates to presentation. The primary ASC topics with respect to presentation include, but are not limited to, requirements around the balance sheet, income statement, comprehensive income, statement of cash flows, notes to financial statements, etc. While the presentation requirements are extensive and include many major topics, the focus of this course is on the following ASC topics:

  • ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements
  • ASC Topic 210, Balance Sheet
  • ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income
  • ASC Topic 225, Income Statement
  • ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows
  • ASC Topic 235, Notes to Financial Statements
  • ASC Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections

This online CPE webinar on Accounting provides an overview of the key presentation requirements with respect to an entity’s financial statements. It is also broken down into various subtopics to take an inclusive approach. This includes a discussion of key principles related to an entity’s overall presentation as well as specific topics with respect to its balance sheet, income statement, comprehensive income, statement of cash flows, as well as notes to the financial statements. The course also addresses the considerations around changes in accounting principles. The information related to this course is primarily sourced from the Financial Standards Accounting Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC).
