Enter “Accounting Theory: A Historical Perspective,” a webcast that takes you back to the roots of accounting using the FASB Conceptual Framework. This course, led by the dynamic Jeff Sailor, will not only illuminate the theory behind financial statements but also guide you in making informed decisions for both GAAP and other accounting bases. Expect an engaging learning experience with Jeff’s unique style and entertaining video parodies, ensuring you stay alert and absorb the crucial theories behind what makes financial statements informative, the fundamental elements they comprise, and the art of presenting information and disclosures effectively.
