New York, NY, October 22, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Congress, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast on FIN 48 for Public Companies: State & Local Tax Issues. This two-hour event is scheduled on Thursday, March 12th, 2009, at 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM (ET – New York).

The speakers will present their expert opinions in a two-hour Live Webcast.
