Topics:

Most affected: companies that have significant real estate leases in multi-locations such as restaurants, retail stores and office units.
- New Revenue Recognition Rules
- Derivatives and conversion features of notes
- How does the SEC’s creation of the PCAOB affect a company’s audit requirements, for example, revenue testing and testing of fair value measurements?
