[CAFR-Contacts-News] FW: KPMG Government Institute Webcast on February 9: GASB Statement No. 72: Overview of Fair Value Measurement and Application, Part I

Tue Jan 26 08:58:20 PST 2016

Good Morning CAFR Contacts,

Below is an invitation for a free webinar from KPMG on part 1 of GASB Statement No. 72 - Fair Value Measurement and Application. 2 hours of CPE are offered. The webinar is on Tuesday, February 9, from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm (PST).

For those that are unfamiliar with KPMG's Government Institute, they do a very nice job presenting new standards, and it's free CPE. Also, these webinars are available individually rather than as a group, so SARS does not reserve any conference rooms for this CPE, as is done for NASACT webinars.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Rob
