Chatham is pleased to host a webinar on the tax implications of common interest rate, foreign currency, and commodity hedging strategies with special guest speaker Jo Lynn Ricks, Director of the Financial Instruments Group in the Washington National Tax Group at Deloitte Tax LLP. The webinar is designed to educate and inform preparers on the key aspects of tax hedge accounting for derivative instruments.

The Association for Financial Professionals has invited Dave Hall to speak on the impact of OTC derivative reforms on end users. The House, Senate, Treasury, CFTC, and SEC, as well as international governments and regulators, are debating how best to change the $592 trillion notional over-the-counter ("OTC") derivatives market. What changes would help companies? Which changes would make risk management more difficult or more expensive? Why?

Chatham has been invited to host "The Impact of OTC Derivatives Reforms on Companies" for The National Association of Real Estate Companies. This webinar will consider the various proposals being considered by Congress, key issues for companies who use derivatives to manage risks, legislative and regulatory timeline, and the impact changes would have on companies. Please contact us if you would like to participate or if this would be valuable to your organization or association.

In addition to speaking in 2 sessions, Chatham will be attending the Association for Financial Professional's Annual Conference in San Francisco, CA. Please stop by our booth #1132, or contact us if you are interested in meeting at the event.

Sandy Crawford, Chatham's FAS 157 Valuations team lead, will be speaking at APREA Institute's "Challenges for Real Estate Investment Accounting" workshop in Hong Kong. Please contact us if you would be interested in meeting at the event.
