Stay ahead of the curve to ensure you are informed with the most up-to-date information. Two hours of CPE credit per seminar session is available. CLE credit has been requested.

PLUS, in cooperation with our Accountant Professional Practice, we have a bonus session designed specifically to help financial professionals avoid malpractice claims in their day-to-day practice, focusing on issues that arise with financial audits of clients.
