NOTE: THIS EVENT WILL BE RESCHEDULED, DATE TBD.

After a two week Spring break hiatus (during which we faculty were all catching up on work, of course), FASRI returns with a Roundtable featuring Stephen Cooper, current IASB member and former Managing Director in the Equities business of UBS Investment Bank in London from 1997 to 2008.  The session will run from 11am-noon ET on Wednesday, March 31.  From his IASB bio:

During this time his main role was as a publishing analyst and head of valuation and accounting research. He was also a member of the European and Global investment recommendations committees and the investment committee of the UBS pension fund in the UK. As a specialist in accounting, security valuation and finance he worked closely with many other professionals throughout the investment bank, including those involved in quantative and sector equity research, pension finance and corporate finance. As an analyst he advised many institutional investors around the world on investment issues, particularly on techniques of equity analysis, security valuation and related financial reporting issues. He also developed a number of valuation models for use in equity research. Mr Cooper has been recognised as a leader in his field and was voted the top European Valuation and Accounting analyst by in the Extel and Institutional Investor surveys on 10 consecutive occasions.

Mr. Cooper has been actively involved in the Financial Statement Presentation, but I am sure our discussion will range across most of the Boards’ current agenda.

See you there!
