This seminar will examine incentive plans to see which ones work and which do not. We will also examine difficult issues, such as what happens when we have upper and lower limits on incentives. How do we recognize performance in divisions facing different challenges? Sadly, too many incentive plans do not achieve the intended goals.

How can we survive financial distress? These are all topics that every enterprise faces. In this seminar we will look at theory and practice to help resolve the dilemmas. If you are involved with financing the organization, this seminar is essential. *Week 3: CFO Series: Changing Corporate Culture: How to Improve it? | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Business Management & Organization | Discussion Leader: Jane Mims, Ph.D. | Date: Friday, October 17, 10:00 am | Description: Every organization, team, and family have its own unique culture.

Learn how to shift the culture without demanding major changes in the individuals, how to reduce resistance to change, and create a culture with low fear and high confidence - which translates into higher levels of productivity, profitability, and lower turnover. The best employees actively seek out organizations with the best cultures.

New CFO Series: September 2025 Webinar Bundle (Webinar) (25WX-2535)25WX-2535 | *Week 1: CFO Series: Develop a Great Internal Audit Department: How? | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Auditing | Discussion Leader: Rob Berry, CPA | Date: Friday, September 5, 10:00 a.m. | Description: What can we do and how can we make our Internal Audit department better? How does Internal Audit add value? What measurables should we use? What are the key factors to get right? This class will show you how to transform Internal Audit into a profit center. Renowned organizations rotate future leaders through Internal Audit for a reason. Operational and other audits performed with the right processes, procedures, and personnel are key to success throughout the organization. The modern Internal Audit department pays for itself. If you are interested in getting the most bang-for-the-buck from Internal Audit, this seminar will deliver. *Week 2: CFO Series: Insurance-- How to Manage Your Insurance Program? | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Finance | Discussion Leader: Brian Maturi, MBA, FCA | Date: Friday, September 12, 10:00 a.m. | Description: At its core, insurance is risk management. What insurance does the organization need? What types? What limits should we buy? How large of a deductible should we accept? What is the difference between a deductible and a self-insured retention? What do I need to know about insurance contracts? What should I expect of my insurance broker? What coverage is available and what do I need to buy? Specifically designed for any leader responsible for insurance and risk, the insurance function is critical to the ongoing viability of an organization. We will review a practical approach to managing insurance. *Week 3: CFO Series Understand & Mitigate External & Internal Risks- How? | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Auditing | Discussion Leader: Bob Mims, CPA | Date: Friday, September 19, 10:00 a.m. | Description: Risk is everywhere, but which risks matter? In the dynamic landscape of modern business, the role of a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) extends far beyond financial management; it encompasses navigating an array of external and internal risks that can impact organizational performance and sustainability. This seminar will empower professionals with the foresight and practical tools needed to understand, anticipate, and mitigate both external and internal risks. We must be aware and anticipate. If we do not adequately prepare, the organization will be exposed to avoidable and onerous risk. This is essential for leaders and organizations that want to survive and thrive. *Week 4: CFO Series: AI and Machine Learning: Practical Applications | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Accounting & Auditing | Discussion Leader: Joe Oringel, MBA, CPA, CIA | Date: Friday, September 26, 10:00 am | Description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are being deployed in organizations large and small at a rapidly increasing rate. Your organization is likely testing, deploying, and perhaps refining AI-powered applications across a variety of departments and business functions. Why should this matter to accounting, internal audit, finance and cyber professionals? Should our teams be testing and deploying also? How and why AI can be used in accounting and audit? During this interactive session we will demonstrate and describe the differences between chat-based AI search tools and more robust AI-powered applications - e.g., an app to help prioritize and dispatch IT help desk tickets. The session will include example policies for responsible and ethical AI, and resources to help curious professionals learn more about these subjects. These technologies are powerful and quite capable, but they are not without risk. After all, with great power comes great responsibility. These technologies can also be misused (accidentally or intentionally) to destroy value instead of creating it. We also discuss which is the greater risk; a) not using these new technologies, or b) misusing these new technologies. Leading organizations have been using AI and ML. Successful leaders must be aware of the pros and cons and how to properly utilize these tools. | |

What should you do when your client contacts you about their employee embezzling money from their business? What options should you present to your client? How can your client protect themselves, while investigating the embezzlement? What steps need to be taken about preserving any documents, emails, texts, or phone calls?

New CPAxPACK Bundle: Combatting Fraud -- Master Prevention and Detection (Webinar) (25WX-2473)25WX-2473 | *Course 1: Fraud Busters: Controls to Prevent & Detect Fraud | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Auditing, Accounting | Description: This course investigates actual real-world fraud schemes and discusses what controls could have prevented the fraud from occurring, and what controls could detect and curtail the fraud scheme. The instructor speaks from experience, finding multiple frauds very early in her career leading to a career-long focus on fraud prevention and detection. *Course 2: Steps to Stop External Fraud | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Accounting | Description: Until recently, a percentage of organizations discounted the risk related to external fraud attempts. Most were only concerned with protecting physical assets such as inventory or fixed assets. However, because of the many highly publicized corporate hacking events, such as the ones that affected the Colonial Pipeline and JBS Meats, more attention is being paid to external fraud risk of all types. In this session, we look at what is included in a definition of external fraud and then delve into specific control issues that can give rise to increased risk. We then discuss measures that organizations can employ to help reduce exposure to external attacks. *Course 3: Money Laundering 101 for CPAs | CPE: 4 | Field of Study: Specialized Knowledge | Description: CPAs spend most of their working lives reviewing bank statements and books and records of businesses. They are experts in understanding how to prepare financial statements according to GAAP. But would a CPA know a possible money laundering transaction if they saw it? Would they know about a money laundering business? Money laundering is a subject of many action and thriller movies, but rarely understood. This presentation will educate the CPA in understanding the basics of money laundering and how to identify money laundering. This presentation will help the CPA know the truth about money laundering, how to identify it, the statutes that define it, and the court cases that interpret it. | |

New CPAxPACK Bundle: Tax Pro's Guide -- Essential Courses for Tax Mastery (Webinar) (25WX-1971)25WX-1971 | *Course 1: Basic Individual Taxation Course | CPE: 2 | Description: Please join us for an introductory course on the fundamentals of preparing and filing an individual federal income tax return. We will cover topics such as what the federal income tax is and how it is computed. *Course 2: Income Tax Analysis: Exploring In-Depth Concepts | CPE: 2 | Description: Financial statements prepared for stockholders and external users follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), while tax returns adhere to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). These frameworks differ in recognizing profitability, influencing reported income significantly. Companies often aim to minimize taxable income within legal bounds, while maintaining compliance with both financial reporting and tax regulations. Timing Differences: Variations in income recognition and deductible expenses between GAAP and IRC create timing differences, impacting reported profitability and tax liabilities. Deferred Tax Assets: Companies accrue deferred tax assets from overpaid taxes or carried-forward credits, which can offset future taxable income, reducing tax liabilities. Deferred Tax Liabilities: When taxable income is less than reported income, deferred tax liabilities arise, necessitating future tax payments when temporary differences reverse. Join us to delve into these concepts, exploring how financial reporting choices and tax strategies shape a company's financial performance and compliance obligations. *Course 3: Behind the Curtain: Exploring IRS Audit Technique Guides | CPE: 2 | Description: Have you ever considered a tax audit from the perspective of an IRS examiner? This session explains how you can use IRS Audit Technique Guides (ATGs) to enhance tax compliance. You will obtain a glimpse of the audit process from the viewpoint of an IRS agent as we explore insights that the IRS provides to its own examiners. *Course 4: Learning to Teach "Tax" as a Second Language | CPE: 2 | Description: Sometimes the vernacular of accounting seems more challenging than technical aspects. This session offers suggestions for translating the foreign language of taxation into tangible terms for non-accountants. We explore techniques for simplifying the complexity of taxation terminology. This course will equip you with tools for demystifying tax technicalities so you can help clients and other non-tax professionals grasp fundamental concepts. *Course 5: 1040 Tax Prep Automation with AI Tools | CPE: 2 | Description: There has never been a greater opportunity to leverage technology tools to automate various aspects of 1040 tax preparation. This course will provide specific examples of how you can use AI (artificial intelligence) based tools to complement your core 1040 tax prep software. You will learn how to leverage AI to automate the collection and organization of client source documents, enhance the engagement management process and add value to your 1040 service through AI enhanced 1040 advisory services. This course will separate the hype from reality about AI and how it can be used in 1040 tax preparation. *Course 6: Tax Implications of Retirement Plan Distributions: What You Need to Know | CPE: 2 | Description: This session will address the complex rules of retirement distributions, review key provisions of the SECURE Act 2.0, and provide practical strategies of maximizing tax benefits for your client. *Course 7: Schedule C of Form 1040 | CPE: 2 | Description: Many self-employed or sole proprietors find themselves having to navigate Schedule C in reporting business income.

New CPAxPACK Bundle: Tax Pro's Guide -- Essential Courses for Tax Mastery (Webinar) (25WX-2978)25WX-2978 | *Course 1: Basic Individual Taxation Course | CPE: 2 | Description: Please join us for an introductory course on the fundamentals of preparing and filing an individual federal income tax return. We will cover topics such as what the federal income tax is and how it is computed. *Course 2: Income Tax Analysis: Exploring In-Depth Concepts | CPE: 2 | Description: Financial statements prepared for stockholders and external users follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), while tax returns adhere to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). These frameworks differ in recognizing profitability, influencing reported income significantly. Companies often aim to minimize taxable income within legal bounds, while maintaining compliance with both financial reporting and tax regulations. Timing Differences: Variations in income recognition and deductible expenses between GAAP and IRC create timing differences, impacting reported profitability and tax liabilities. Deferred Tax Assets: Companies accrue deferred tax assets from overpaid taxes or carried-forward credits, which can offset future taxable income, reducing tax liabilities. Deferred Tax Liabilities: When taxable income is less than reported income, deferred tax liabilities arise, necessitating future tax payments when temporary differences reverse. Join us to delve into these concepts, exploring how financial reporting choices and tax strategies shape a company's financial performance and compliance obligations. *Course 3: Behind the Curtain: Exploring IRS Audit Technique Guides | CPE: 2 | Description: Have you ever considered a tax audit from the perspective of an IRS examiner? This session explains how you can use IRS Audit Technique Guides (ATGs) to enhance tax compliance. You will obtain a glimpse of the audit process from the viewpoint of an IRS agent as we explore insights that the IRS provides to its own examiners. *Course 4: Learning to Teach "Tax" as a Second Language | CPE: 2 | Description: Sometimes the vernacular of accounting seems more challenging than technical aspects. This session offers suggestions for translating the foreign language of taxation into tangible terms for non-accountants. We explore techniques for simplifying the complexity of taxation terminology. This course will equip you with tools for demystifying tax technicalities so you can help clients and other non-tax professionals grasp fundamental concepts. *Course 5: 1040 Tax Prep Automation with AI Tools | CPE: 2 | Description: There has never been a greater opportunity to leverage technology tools to automate various aspects of 1040 tax preparation. This course will provide specific examples of how you can use AI (artificial intelligence) based tools to complement your core 1040 tax prep software. You will learn how to leverage AI to automate the collection and organization of client source documents, enhance the engagement management process and add value to your 1040 service through AI enhanced 1040 advisory services. This course will separate the hype from reality about AI and how it can be used in 1040 tax preparation. *Course 6: Tax Implications of Retirement Plan Distributions: What You Need to Know | CPE: 2 | Description: This session will address the complex rules of retirement distributions, review key provisions of the SECURE Act 2.0, and provide practical strategies of maximizing tax benefits for your client. *Course 7: Schedule C of Form 1040 | CPE: 2 | Description: Many self-employed or sole proprietors find themselves having to navigate Schedule C in reporting business income.

The instructor speaks from experience, finding multiple frauds very early in her career leading to a career-long focus on fraud prevention and detection. *Course 2: Steps to Stop External Fraud | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Accounting | Description: Until recently, a percentage of organizations discounted the risk related to external fraud attempts. Most were only concerned with protecting physical assets such as inventory or fixed assets. However, because of the many highly publicized corporate hacking events, such as the ones that affected the Colonial Pipeline and JBS Meats, more attention is being paid to external fraud risk of all types. In this session, we look at what is included in a definition of external fraud and then delve into specific control issues that can give rise to increased risk. We then discuss measures that organizations can employ to help reduce exposure to external attacks. *Course 3: Money Laundering 101 for CPAs | CPE: 4 | Field of Study: Specialized Knowledge | Description: CPAs spend most of their working lives reviewing bank statements and books and records of businesses. They are experts in understanding how to prepare financial statements according to GAAP. But would a CPA know a possible money laundering transaction if they saw it? Would they know about a money laundering business? Money laundering is a subject of many action and thriller movies, but rarely understood. This presentation will educate the CPA in understanding the basics of money laundering and how to identify money laundering. This presentation will help the CPA know the truth about money laundering, how to identify it, the statutes that define it, and the court cases that interpret it. | |

New CPAxPACK Bundle: Tax Pro's Guide -- Essential Courses for Tax Mastery (Webinar) (25WX-2488)25WX-2488 | *Course 1: Basic Individual Taxation Course | CPE: 2 | Description: Please join us for an introductory course on the fundamentals of preparing and filing an individual federal income tax return. We will cover topics such as what the federal income tax is and how it is computed. *Course 2: Income Tax Analysis: Exploring In-Depth Concepts | CPE: 2 | Description: Financial statements prepared for stockholders and external users follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), while tax returns adhere to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). These frameworks differ in recognizing profitability, influencing reported income significantly. Companies often aim to minimize taxable income within legal bounds, while maintaining compliance with both financial reporting and tax regulations. Timing Differences: Variations in income recognition and deductible expenses between GAAP and IRC create timing differences, impacting reported profitability and tax liabilities. Deferred Tax Assets: Companies accrue deferred tax assets from overpaid taxes or carried-forward credits, which can offset future taxable income, reducing tax liabilities. Deferred Tax Liabilities: When taxable income is less than reported income, deferred tax liabilities arise, necessitating future tax payments when temporary differences reverse. Join us to delve into these concepts, exploring how financial reporting choices and tax strategies shape a company's financial performance and compliance obligations. *Course 3: Behind the Curtain: Exploring IRS Audit Technique Guides | CPE: 2 | Description: Have you ever considered a tax audit from the perspective of an IRS examiner? This session explains how you can use IRS Audit Technique Guides (ATGs) to enhance tax compliance. You will obtain a glimpse of the audit process from the viewpoint of an IRS agent as we explore insights that the IRS provides to its own examiners. *Course 4: Learning to Teach "Tax" as a Second Language | CPE: 2 | Description: Sometimes the vernacular of accounting seems more challenging than technical aspects. This session offers suggestions for translating the foreign language of taxation into tangible terms for non-accountants. We explore techniques for simplifying the complexity of taxation terminology. This course will equip you with tools for demystifying tax technicalities so you can help clients and other non-tax professionals grasp fundamental concepts. *Course 5: 1040 Tax Prep Automation with AI Tools | CPE: 2 | Description: There has never been a greater opportunity to leverage technology tools to automate various aspects of 1040 tax preparation. This course will provide specific examples of how you can use AI (artificial intelligence) based tools to complement your core 1040 tax prep software. You will learn how to leverage AI to automate the collection and organization of client source documents, enhance the engagement management process and add value to your 1040 service through AI enhanced 1040 advisory services. This course will separate the hype from reality about AI and how it can be used in 1040 tax preparation. *Course 6: Tax Implications of Retirement Plan Distributions: What You Need to Know | CPE: 2 | Description: This session will address the complex rules of retirement distributions, review key provisions of the SECURE Act 2.0, and provide practical strategies of maximizing tax benefits for your client. *Course 7: Schedule C of Form 1040 | CPE: 2 | Description: Many self-employed or sole proprietors find themselves having to navigate Schedule C in reporting business income. While this attachment to Form 1040 seems straightforward on the surface, there are many traps for the unwary. | |

How can your client protect themselves, while investigating the embezzlement? What steps need to be taken about preserving any documents, emails, texts, or phone calls? This course teaches how to engage the client, properly identify the evidence needed to prove the crime, how to write the report for civil and criminal trial, and best practices in preserving electronic and paper evidence. *Course 3: Forensic Accounting: Crafting Expert Reports | CPE: 4 | Description: When forensic accountants are hired to conduct an analysis and investigations, they are commonly expected to write a report.

Federal courts have approved various ways to calculate losses ranging from net worth method of proof to the expenditures method.

This presentation will focus on the various court approved methods of proof, when to use them, and how to calculate the total loss. *Course 2: Forensic Accounting: When the Office Is a Crime Scene | CPE: 4 | Description: Embezzlement happens often to many small businesses. Unfortunately, the lack of internal controls allow the embezzlement to remain undetected for years. But when it is discovered, the small business owner will most likely contact their CPA for advice. What should you do when your client contacts you about their employee embezzling money from their business? What options should you present to your client? How can your client protect themselves, while investigating the embezzlement? What steps need to be taken about preserving any documents, emails, texts, or phone calls? This course teaches how to engage the client, properly identify the evidence needed to prove the crime, how to write the report for civil and criminal trial, and best practices in preserving electronic and paper evidence. *Course 3: Forensic Accounting: Crafting Expert Reports | CPE: 4 | Description: When forensic accountants are hired to conduct an analysis and investigations, they are commonly expected to write a report. This report can be short or long, depending on the circumstances. This presentation is how to write an effective expert report that will withstand scrutiny of both parties of litigation and the court. The presentation will also include best practices, ethics, and components of an effective report. | |

New CPAxPACK Bundle: Combatting Fraud -- Master Prevention and Detection (Webinar) (25WX-1957)25WX-1957 | *Course 1: Fraud Busters: Controls to Prevent & Detect Fraud | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Auditing, Accounting | Description: This course investigates actual real-world fraud schemes and discusses what controls could have prevented the fraud from occurring, and what controls could detect and curtail the fraud scheme. The instructor speaks from experience, finding multiple frauds very early in her career leading to a career-long focus on fraud prevention and detection. *Course 2: Steps to Stop External Fraud | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Accounting | Description: Until recently, a percentage of organizations discounted the risk related to external fraud attempts. Most were only concerned with protecting physical assets such as inventory or fixed assets. However, because of the many highly publicized corporate hacking events, such as the ones that affected the Colonial Pipeline and JBS Meats, more attention is being paid to external fraud risk of all types. In this session, we look at what is included in a definition of external fraud and then delve into specific control issues that can give rise to increased risk. We then discuss measures that organizations can employ to help reduce exposure to external attacks. *Course 3: Money Laundering 101 for CPAs | CPE: 4 | Field of Study: Specialized Knowledge | Description: CPAs spend most of their working lives reviewing bank statements and books and records of businesses. They are experts in understanding how to prepare financial statements according to GAAP. But would a CPA know a possible money laundering transaction if they saw it? Would they know about a money laundering business? Money laundering is a subject of many action and thriller movies, but rarely understood. This presentation will educate the CPA in understanding the basics of money laundering and how to identify money laundering. This presentation will help the CPA know the truth about money laundering, how to identify it, the statutes that define it, and the court cases that interpret it. | |

Running Skillful Investigations | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Auditing | Discussion Leader: Tracy Cooper, CPA, CFE | Date: Friday, August 1, 10:00 am | Description: CFOs are on the front line of managing risk within the organization, often including investigations into suspected theft or fraud. Fraud investigations are not an accounting audit. Many lack the training needed to conduct a fair and legal investigation. This course will provide the essential knowledge and skills to conduct successful internal investigations. The goal is to ensure that when a case is referred to law enforcement or results in other legal action, the findings will be admissible and robust. How can we respect the rights of all parties involved, preserve evidence, conduct proper surveillance, and distinguish between company materials and individual property? Proper investigations are intricate. Be aware of the risk to the organization and to the investigating team. The goal is to lead and plan internal investigations with confidence and legal integrity. Be aware and be prepared. *Week 2: CFO Series: Better Management Reports Clear + Simple =Great! | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Accounting | Discussion Leader: Don Minges, MBA | Date: Friday, August 8, 10:00 am | Description: Most management reports are misunderstood and misused.

Learn how to grab your audiences' attention and deliver an actionable message. Discover the power of "The Trifecta" and the five secrets of effective reports and presentations. Learn how to make your messaging a "re-memorable event" and how to give the users what they need to know. We will discuss how to make your reports useful and understandable to your audience. If management does not understand the financial reports they receive (most do not) this seminar will provide keen insights to make your reports truly useful. Be the hero who delivers informative reports. We will show great examples of what to do and how. *Week 3: CFO Series: Crisis Management - Navigate the Storms Safely! | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Auditing, Business Management & Organization | Discussion Leader: Rob Berry, CPA | Date: Friday, August 15, 10:00 am | Description: Whether it's changes in the market, a global pandemic, or loss of a supplier, at some point, most organizations will face a crisis. How you respond can make or break your organization. This intensive seminar on crisis management and business continuity planning will equip you with the knowledge and skills to manage crises confidently and ensure that your organization stays resilient. Resilient organizations recover faster from crises. Failing to plan for the next crisis is planning to fail. *Week 4: CFO Series: Dealing with Ever Changing Accounting Standards? | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Accounting | Discussion Leader: Bob Mims, CPA | Date: Friday, August 22, 10:00 am | Description: GAAP is changing at an increasing rate. Financial leaders are faced with the dual challenge of navigating evolving accounting standards while strategically guiding their organizations toward sustainable growth and profitability. What are the newer accounting changes that will impact professional accounting? This seminar will equip finance professionals with the critical skills and practical insights needed to effectively manage the complexities of ever-changing accounting standards and upgrade your essential strategic planning skills.

The instructor speaks from experience, finding multiple frauds very early in her career leading to a career-long focus on fraud prevention and detection. *Course 2: Steps to Stop External Fraud | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Accounting | Description: Until recently, a percentage of organizations discounted the risk related to external fraud attempts. Most were only concerned with protecting physical assets such as inventory or fixed assets. However, because of the many highly publicized corporate hacking events, such as the ones that affected the Colonial Pipeline and JBS Meats, more attention is being paid to external fraud risk of all types. In this session, we look at what is included in a definition of external fraud and then delve into specific control issues that can give rise to increased risk. We then discuss measures that organizations can employ to help reduce exposure to external attacks. *Course 3: Money Laundering 101 for CPAs | CPE: 4 | Field of Study: Specialized Knowledge | Description: CPAs spend most of their working lives reviewing bank statements and books and records of businesses. They are experts in understanding how to prepare financial statements according to GAAP. But would a CPA know a possible money laundering transaction if they saw it? Would they know about a money laundering business? Money laundering is a subject of many action and thriller movies, but rarely understood. This presentation will educate the CPA in understanding the basics of money laundering and how to identify money laundering. This presentation will help the CPA know the truth about money laundering, how to identify it, the statutes that define it, and the court cases that interpret it. | |

New CFO Series: November 2025 Webinar Bundle (Webinar) (25WX-3596)25WX-3596 | *Week 1: CFO Series: Quality is Free-- But How do We Measure the Cost? | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Finance Discussion Leader: Brian Maturi, MBA, FCA | Date: Friday, November 7, 10:00 am | Description: Customers demand quality. We expect quality in what we do and in what we consume. In 1985, Philip Crosby told us that quality is free. We will examine Crosby's statement and look at the four aspects of the cost of quality - prevention, appraisal, internal failure, and external failure. What are the true costs associated with each of these elements? How can we determine how each aspect can be measured? We will test the adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure to see if this 16:1 relationship holds true. Quality matters, and we need to know how to evaluate the true cost of quality and what the value is. *Week 2: CFO Series: Recognizing Lies: How to Detect and Prevent? | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Business Management & Organization | Discussion Leader: Don Minges, MBA | Date: Friday, November 14, 10:00 am Description: Trust is the glue that binds all relationships. Regardless, humans tell lies; a cruel fact. Every lie undermines trust and damages productivity. What signals indicate lies? How can you properly interpret the cues? How can you protect yourself from lies? This class will discuss how to discern lies effectively. Do not be taken advantage of. Learn an established and proven process to uncover the truth. *Week 3: CFO Series: Proven Methods to Detect and Prevent Fraud | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Auditing | Discussion Leader: Rob Berry, CPA | Date: Friday, November 21, 10:00 am | Description: Fraud impacts over 80% of all organizations, costing over $10 billion annually. Do you aim to fortify your organization, or your client's, against fraud risks? This seminar will address how to instill a robust anti-fraud culture and give you the tools needed to proactively prevent, detect, and manage fraudulent activities. Prevention is vital for success. Do not wait to protect the organization. *Week 4: CFO Series: Re-inventing the Modern CFO: How to Adapt? | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Business Management & Organization | Discussion Leader: Bob Mims, CPA | Date: Friday, November 28, 10:00 am | Description: The role of today's financial leader, including CFOs, transcends traditional financial stewardship; it demands agility, innovation, crisis management, and strategic foresight. This seminar will discuss the new, multifaceted skills and insights needed to excel in the dynamic role of modern finance. Through a blend of theory, case studies, and practical exercises, participants will explore the diverse roles of today's CFO as innovation champions, technology evangelists, leaders, and change agents, leveraging practical principles to drive organizational success. Financial leaders can adapt or be left behind. Whether you are a seasoned CFO or aspiring to step into a leadership position, this seminar will give you the essential tools and insights to navigate the newer demands of financial managers with confidence and competence. | |

How can your client protect themselves, while investigating the embezzlement? What steps need to be taken about preserving any documents, emails, texts, or phone calls?

New CPAxPACK Bundle: Tax Pro's Guide -- Essential Courses for Tax Mastery (Webinar) (25WX-3510)25WX-3510 | *Course 1: Basic Individual Taxation Course | CPE: 2 | Description: Please join us for an introductory course on the fundamentals of preparing and filing an individual federal income tax return. We will cover topics such as what the federal income tax is and how it is computed. *Course 2: Income Tax Analysis: Exploring In-Depth Concepts | CPE: 2 | Description: Financial statements prepared for stockholders and external users follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), while tax returns adhere to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). These frameworks differ in recognizing profitability, influencing reported income significantly. Companies often aim to minimize taxable income within legal bounds, while maintaining compliance with both financial reporting and tax regulations. Timing Differences: Variations in income recognition and deductible expenses between GAAP and IRC create timing differences, impacting reported profitability and tax liabilities. Deferred Tax Assets: Companies accrue deferred tax assets from overpaid taxes or carried-forward credits, which can offset future taxable income, reducing tax liabilities. Deferred Tax Liabilities: When taxable income is less than reported income, deferred tax liabilities arise, necessitating future tax payments when temporary differences reverse. Join us to delve into these concepts, exploring how financial reporting choices and tax strategies shape a company's financial performance and compliance obligations. *Course 3: Behind the Curtain: Exploring IRS Audit Technique Guides | CPE: 2 | Description: Have you ever considered a tax audit from the perspective of an IRS examiner? This session explains how you can use IRS Audit Technique Guides (ATGs) to enhance tax compliance. You will obtain a glimpse of the audit process from the viewpoint of an IRS agent as we explore insights that the IRS provides to its own examiners. *Course 4: Learning to Teach "Tax" as a Second Language | CPE: 2 | Description: Sometimes the vernacular of accounting seems more challenging than technical aspects. This session offers suggestions for translating the foreign language of taxation into tangible terms for non-accountants. We explore techniques for simplifying the complexity of taxation terminology. This course will equip you with tools for demystifying tax technicalities so you can help clients and other non-tax professionals grasp fundamental concepts. *Course 5: 1040 Tax Prep Automation with AI Tools | CPE: 2 | Description: There has never been a greater opportunity to leverage technology tools to automate various aspects of 1040 tax preparation. This course will provide specific examples of how you can use AI (artificial intelligence) based tools to complement your core 1040 tax prep software. You will learn how to leverage AI to automate the collection and organization of client source documents, enhance the engagement management process and add value to your 1040 service through AI enhanced 1040 advisory services. This course will separate the hype from reality about AI and how it can be used in 1040 tax preparation. *Course 6: Tax Implications of Retirement Plan Distributions: What You Need to Know | CPE: 2 | Description: This session will address the complex rules of retirement distributions, review key provisions of the SECURE Act 2.0, and provide practical strategies of maximizing tax benefits for your client. *Course 7: Schedule C of Form 1040 | CPE: 2 | Description: Many self-employed or sole proprietors find themselves having to navigate Schedule C in reporting business income.
