Description

Too Good to Miss

The FICPA Accounting and Business show hits the mark with topics ranging from international tax and finance to unique needs of CPAs working in industry, as well as other specialized sessions on taxation, financial planning and multiple A&A sessions, you don’t want to skip this conference. Mark your calendars and save the date for the conference that’s too good to miss.

We offer the option to attend virtually from your home or office through our Simulcast.  Earn up to 18 CPE hours from nationally recognized speakers without the need to travel.  Need to meet your ethics requirement?  You can do that too on the Friday Simulcast.  Enjoy the flexibility the Simulcast has to offer and choose to attend your choice of one, two or all three days.

Day 1 features 7 hours of CPE credit – 6 AA, 1 TB – including a keynote presentation from AICPA Chairman of the Board Kimberly Ellison-Taylor.  Breakout sessions include Revenue Recognition, Basic Fiduciary Accounting, Entities and more.

Day 2 features 7 hours of CPE credit – 6 AA, 1 TB – including a presentation from nationally recognized, refreshingly unique keynote speaker, Mike Hourigan.  Breakout sessions include Accounting and Auditing Updates, FASB Nonprofit GAAP Updates; Accounting for Leases, Audit engagements and more

The first two days each offer the opportunity to earn up to 7 CPE credit hours and include both our keynote presentations.  Because we want to deliver the Show’s most popular CPE topics to our Simulcast attendees, complete agendas will be released later in August.

Day 3 features one of our highly respected Ethics courses – Ethics: Protecting the Integrity of Florida CPAs - 4980 (4 ETH).  This is a great way to earn your required biennial Ethics credits.  Registration is now open!
