New York, NY, January 24, 2009 --(PR.com)-- In a bid to define Goodwill and Intangible assets in financial accounting, FASB issued SFAS 142 aimed at helping affected entities identify key issues relating to financial statements containing intangible assets. This statement will address concerns regarding the importance of intangible assets and knowing where they stand in your financial transactions. As a result, companies will have a better grasp in determining their most valued assets. This event will greatly benefit companies using financial statements who have acquired intangible assets. Participation is highly recommended.

The Knowledge Congress is assembling a panel of distinguished professionals and key regulators to inform the public of the importance of this regulation. The speakers will present their expert opinions in a two-hour Live webinar.
