Ce nouveau chapitre nous est ouvert et nous avons le pouvoir de l'écrire ensemble. Les pages blanches verront s'écrire nos accomplissements dans les 12 prochains mois. L'économie américaine devrait continuer à se redresser offrant ainsi de meilleures perspectives et opportunités que l'année que nous venons de clôturer, pour les entreprises et ses entrepreneurs. J'espère qu'ensemble nous prendrons note de vos succès à travers cette nouvelle période remplie d'intéressants défis. Malgré cette période économique difficile, la Chambre a vu une augmentation du nombre de ses membres, une hausse dans le niveau d'adhésions et un développement de son partenariat. Avec ces nouvelles encourageantes, nous continuons à améliorer le niveau qualitatif de nos interventions. Ce travail ne peut se faire que par la motivation et les constants efforts de notre Exécutive directeur Elsa Depeupierre et du dévouement de notre équipe de stagiaires (Marine et Anna). Un grand merci aux « board members » pour leur travail et leurs accomplissements afin d'améliorer la Chambre. Le travail de la chambre est accompli à travers le réseau de volontaires et également à travers vos commentaires, sans oublier votre implication. Nous sommes à votre écoute. En attendant de vous revoir en 2011 à un de nos évènements, n'hésitez pas à me contacter pour toute information complémentaire. Votre dévoué président. Amicalement," Gérald Gaucher, SDFACC President gerald.gaucher@france-sandiego.org

"Accounting for Corporations and Limited liability Companies and How it relates to Inssurance" by William Byrnes
"Why is this Topic Important to Financial Professionals? Accounting is like a road map of the company's financial operations. It is essential to understand the accounting basics and how they relate to small businesses and insurance.
Accrual or Cash Accounting Methods
Now that the business has been incorporated and is operating, what is required to keep the business accounted for? The first determination a company must make is determining if the business will account using an accrual or cash system. An accrual accounting method recognizes revenues and expenses in the period in which they occur whereas a cash accounting method recognizes transactions as they occur."
William Byrnes is the Associate Dean of Graduate and Distance Programs at Thomas Jefferson School of Law. He heads the following graduate and executive short programs: International Tax & Financial Services, International Trade & Investment, and the American Legal System.
