Presented as part of BDO USA, LLP's Ac'sense^SM series, the Ac'sense^SM Fair Value Measurement - Practical Considerations webinar 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.
