Accounting for Business Combinations
Author: Colleen Neuharth McClain

Description:
In December 2007, the FASB replaced SFAS No. 141 with SFAS No. 141(R) (As amended). One of the changes the FASB made was to replace the term "purchase method" with the term "acquisition method." All business combinations are now treated as acquisitions as a result of SFAS No.141(R). Focusing on several concepts related to business combinations, this program deals with broad financial accounting issues.
