Jim’s philosophy of CPE is simple: spend the class time on topics of applicability and relevance to all and present the topics in an entertaining and fast moving manner. He also produces self-study videos that have been among the top sellers in the southeastern United States for the past several years. Jim regularly consults with CPA firms throughout the United States on a variety of accounting and auditing technical issues and serves as expert counsel in litigation manners.
This class is designed for those professionals who will never do accounting and auditing stuff in the remainder of their careers yet need to meet a regulatory burden. Recent pronouncements from the FASB and ASB and ARSC are presented and discussed from a perspective that allows a non-A&A person to understand what’s coming on their way in terms of financial statement treatment of items that may result in a different tax treatment including the new revenue standard and leasing changes. Tax professionals may actually have an educational and fun time meeting the regulatory requirements!
