Recent research from the AICPA suggests that the business environment for accountants and their clients will be characterized by “unprecedented, massive and highly accelerated change” through 2025, and likely beyond.

By the end of the session, participants have learned how to anticipate these trends and move from being crisis managers to opportunity managers. (Available in 1-3 hour format)
