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.
