Course Description:

This course provides an overview of non-GAAP financial measures with a particular emphasis on comments from the SEC, the FASB, as well as comment letter analysis from several of the Big 4 accounting firms.  Non-GAAP financial measures continue to rank at the top of the most frequent comment letters issued by the SEC.  As a result, it’s important to understand the guidance with respect to these measures to ensure that an entity’s financial statements remain GAAP compliant and are not misleading.
