GAAP is the backbone of U.S. financial reporting, built to make financial information consistent, reliable and comparable. This 60-minute GAAP basics webinar explains not only how financial data is presented, but why.
It starts with what GAAP is, who establishes it and why standard rules matter, including how they prevent arbitrary or misleading practices in recognizing revenue, recording expenses, measuring assets and liabilities and making disclosures. You'll review key principles such as relevance, faithful representation, consistency, comparability, materiality and conservatism.
The session then applies them: timing and valuation, accrual versus cash accounting, matching expenses with revenue, when revenue can be recognized, and how GAAP shapes financial statements, with real examples from fintechs and financial institutions.
Many professionals rely on financial statements without knowing how the numbers are built. Without a grounding in GAAP, it's easy to misread figures, miss red flags, struggle in due diligence or vendor reviews, or make weaker budgeting and forecasting decisions.
This session suits compliance, risk, AML, audit, operations, product, fintech partner and vendor management professionals, analysts, and anyone who reviews or relies on financial data and wants to join financial discussions with confidence.
