Course Description

When a business restructures debt, accountants face a high-stakes decision: is it a debt modification or a debt extinguishment? Getting this classification right is critical for compliance, but navigating the nuances isn’t always straightforward.

During this webinar, we bridge GAAP theory with practical application. We’ll break down the economic logic behind restructuring rules, clarify how to treat creditor versus third-party fees, and show you how software can automate complex cash-flow models like the 10% Test.
