Program Overview: What is US GAAP Financial Reporting?
US GAAP Financial Reporting is a 20-hour program for controllers and reporting teams with US exposure who need key standards and SEC disclosures. Across five modules it covers the GAAP framework, key standards, statement preparation, disclosures and MD&A, and close practices. It suits listed and PE-backed companies with US listings, investors, or subsidiaries.
Training is hands-on: every concept is taught through guided labs, working real reporting cases, applying standards to transactions, and drafting disclosures. Participants prepare statements, resolve recognition questions, and draft disclosures with instructor coaching. The instructor reviews each output and corrects weak technical reasoning before it reaches filings. A five-and-a-half-hour capstone closes the program, where participants prepare a complete reporting package end to end.
Reporting teams struggle with evolving standards, inconsistent judgments across entities, and disclosures that invite regulator questions. This program builds reporting discipline: correct application, documented judgments, and clear disclosures. Teams share standards, so every entity reports on the same basis.
The capstone is a complete reporting package: statements, notes, and disclosures, reviewed and defended before instructors. Your team keeps the templates and the reporting workflows.
