This webinar will explore the events and circumstances surrounding the recent Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) closure, which includes mistakes made by SVB, whether it could have been detected beforehand, what and how similar crises can easily reoccur elsewhere, an explanation of the government’s involvement before and after the closure, and the auditor’s responsibility in all of this. Attend this course to understand how the application of GAAP and Fair Value measurements can and must be extended to newly developing out-of-the-box situations - such as occurred with SVB.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize when “conventional” wisdom does not serve your clients
- Distinguish and redefine risks that are not apparent or covered by GAAP
- Identify how "business as usual" can distort financial statement disclosure
- Determine how to apply Fair Value concepts to out-of-the-box situations
