NEW YORK -- In this difficult economic climate, many fingers of blame have been pointed—at some at CEOs and other financial executives.
The FAE’s CFOs, Controllers, and Financial Executives Conference will answer questions and address concerns related to the ongoing financial crisis for those in elevated corporate positions.
Former Comptroller of the United States David M. Walker, currently president of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, will speak at the conference, as will a panel of top CFOs and a chief economist from a major bank.
“In addition, we will have partners from several prestigious CPA firms to provide a GAAP/FASB and tax update, a highly rated speaker to discuss how to manage people, and a chief risk officer to discuss the current lending practices for middle market companies today,” said Michael F. Rosenblatt, chair of the NYSSCPA’s Chief Financial Officers Committee.
The conference, which will be held at the New York Helmsley Hotel in New York City on June 11, will focus on issues and topics influencing financial executives, including how President Barack Obama's proposed budget and policies have affected the U.S. economy thus far. Also included in the day’s events will be a legal update from Carol M. Goodman, a CPA with Herrick Feinstein, who will address lawsuit prevention and other topics. Finally, there will be a tax update given by Richard Rahaman, a CPA with Rothstein Kass Certified Public Accountants.
Also, a CFO panel will address the changing role of financial executives; the lack of financing available in the current marketplace; a lack of consumer confidence and decreasing consumer spending; alternative financing opportunities; and keeping costs down.
