Private Investment Fund Tax & Accounting Forum 2019 | Wilmington FRA | 11 November 2019 | Princeton Club of New York, 15 W 43rd St, New York, NY 10036, USA

The FRA Private Investment Fund Tax & Accounting Forum focuses on a practical look at the most crucial elements of tax and accounting practices for private equity and hedge funds. Proudly presenting top-notch content for over a decade, private equity and hedge fund professionals of all levels can expect to leave with fresh insights on new guidance and interpretations of The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that are coming down the pike between informational sessions and interactive discussions with peers and industry veterans.

This one-of-a-kind, comprehensive program will provide everything you need to know to not only safeguard your fund from costly hurdles but thrive in a new era. Created as two conferences in one, the first day will focus on tax updates for private equity and hedge fund and day two will bring accounting and financial reporting updates for private equity and hedge funds.

New this year:
• Exchange insights with peers on learnings after the first full financial year since the TCJA took effect
• from industry experts on the upcoming 163(j) and 199A to ensure your organization is headed in the right direction
• Decode the recently released AICPA Accounting and Valuation Guide to understand the latest guidance on valuation and its impact on the next audit phase
