​CFRA, in partnership with the CFA Society Baltimore, is pleased to offer this webinar to educate participants on the various levers that management teams employ to hide financial and operational risks and learn more about CFRA’s research methodologies regarding non- GAAP metrics.

Over the last decade, the number of GAAP adjustments has proliferated. During this seminar, we explore the pros and cons of the most frequent adjustments, additional improvements that can be made, and which adjustments CFRA believes are most useful to investors. Attendees will also see ways in which companies can abuse non-GAAP adjustments.

CFRA's view of common non-GAAP adjustments:
• Restructuring charges
• Stock-based compensation expense
• Pension adjustments
• Purchase accounting
• Adjustments to EBITDA

This session provides a robust introduction for those with either a beginner or intermediate level of knowledge of forensic accounting and serves as a great refresher for those with more advanced knowledge.
