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.”
