8:10 am – 9:00 am | Impact the Future: Financial Reporting
Accounting - 1.0 CH
Christine Botosan, Board Member of the Financial Accounting Standards Board
Today's financial reporting system is paper based and designed for human consumption of financial information, not machine consumption. However, investors commonly use financial information in digital formats and computer-based earning models. The FASB's mission is to establish and improve financial accounting and reporting standards to provide useful information to investors and other users of financial reports. To continue this mission, the FASB must consider technological advances in production and distribution, and consumption of financial information. Christine's talk will share FASB's current learning and thoughts on these issues. |

9:10 am – 10:00 am | Impact the Future: Paradigm Shifts in Accounting Technology
Information Technology - 1.0 CH
Griffin Anderson, Serial Entrepreneur
Many industries have been dramatically transformed by technology. The accounting
field is no exception. In today's environment we are seeing technology transform
traditional accounting business models, augment our workflows, continue to challenge
traditional notions of reporting, and continue to redefine both the delivery and storage
of our accounting information. In Griffin's talk we will explore all of these shifts and their
impact on the field. |
