International Financial Reporting Standards - State of Convergence Live webinar: May 14, 2008

Presented as part of BDO USA, LLP's Ac'sense^SM series, the Ac’sense 2008 International Financial Reporting Standards – State of Convergence seminar continues our tradition of lending a helping hand to financial management and audit committees to stay on top of today's hot topics and developments.

This event is intended for our valued clients and contacts, including audit committees, board members, management, finance and compliance professionals of both public companies and private companies interested in a timely update on convergence with international financial reporting standards (IFRS).
