Over one hundred representatives from Fortune 1000 and middle market companies have joined thought leaders from audit and advisory firms for the one day event at the Crowne Plaza in Times Square.

- Technical accounting challenges such as determining incremental borrowing rates and separating lease from non-lease components
- Preparation for substantive and SOX audits including design of policies and controls
- Integration between lease accounting, the general ledger, accounts payable and other financial systems
- Building and enabling a center of excellence to support the report-to-record process on day two and beyond
- Preparing for the first quarterly close and SEC filing process following adoption of ASC 842 and IFRS 16
Panelists include financial executives such as controllers, treasurers, technical accounting and financial reporting leaders at Cummins, AGCO, PlyGem, Sealed Air, Charter Communications, NuStar Energy, Lazard and Tyson Foods. The panelists will be moderated by management consultants and executives from PwC, EY, RSM, RGP, CBRE and Riveron Consulting.
