I’d like to get your approval to attend KPMG Learning | Executive Education’s 24th Annual Accounting and Financial Reporting Symposium this December 4-5 in Las Vegas. Overall, the Symposium will be a day filled with key insights, thought leadership, interactive breakouts, and up-to-date information on critical issues affecting year-end reporting, including important technical, regulatory, and compliance topics; emerging practices in financial leadership; and recent guidance from the FASB and the SEC, and will provide an opportunity to discuss practical issues with speakers and peers.

Topics covered include:

·  Keynote Address on Issues Impacting Financial Executives

Attending the training will allow me to grow my skills and increase my knowledge. I’ll be able to select an industry-specific break-out session, tailoring my schedule to get exactly the information I need.

In addition to the industry-specific break-out sessions, I’ll have an opportunity to network with fellow attendees and subject matter leaders within KPMG over lunch and an evening networking reception.
