from AICPA Custom Publishing
Auditors are planning their year-end engagements;
preparers are wrapping up their Sarbanes-Oxley 404 compliance; tax
& financial planners are putting together year-end planning
strategies. “Our Webcast calendar reflects this level of frenetic
activity,” said John Hudson, CPA, director and frequent moderator
of AICPA Webcasts. “We’ve got a number of programs already
planned and several others in the wings to help CPAs get through
this busy time.”
“Webcasts are a high impact and time-efficient
way for over-scheduled CPAs to get their necessary CPE credits,
said Hudson, and for sponsors, they provide a two-hour uninterrupted
dialog with senior decision-makers at major accounting firms and
corporations. AICPA live Webcasts consistently earn member approval
ratings of 95-percent and more and sponsors are taking note.
AICPA live Webcasts can be viewed on both the personal
desktop or group setting. “Our research shows there are up
to 10 viewers per paid registrant,” said Hudson, “and
that’s a real value-add for our sponsors. We’re proud
to have the backing and underwriting support of organizations such
as IRS E-File, FRx Software, Hyperion, Thomson Corporation and others
who are increasingly investing a portion of their marketing budgets
in our live, moderated Webcasts.”
