This means that CPAs can become overwhelmed with the volume of changes in accounting guidance, then are given shorter periods to absorb, comment and implement the changes.
Take a breath. It’s time to get creative and hone current skills to learn as much as you can in a relatively quick time period.
To help practitioners navigate the new rules, CPE providers now offer the PPC and AuditWatch Conference on Accounting and Auditing in Turbulent Times. Conferences like these are ideal in that they provide information on timely and forthcoming topics —topics you need to understand in order to remain competitive. These conferences can be the bridge between first listening to your clients and then developing the skills to actually provide the service to assist them.
PPC and AuditWatch Conference on Accounting and Auditing Issues in Turbulent Times
December 3-4, 2009 | Washington, DC
The world of accounting and auditing is always dynamic, but the past year has been especially volatile. This volatility, coupled with an increasing amount of new rules and standards, challenges accountants and auditors to face many accounting and auditing issues that are either new or have not been seen in many years. Sessions at this conference will address current and relevant issues such as estimating and auditing fair value, FIN 48, going concerns, idle assets and impairment issues, debt and business restructuring.
