AICPA National Not-For-Profit Industry Conference The AICPA National Not-For-Profit Industry Conference is by far the largest forum in the United States dealing exclusively with the challenges facing nonprofit practitioners and financial executives who work in and for the nation’s nonprofits. This exceedingly popular event provides training in financial and operational strategies that are crucial to the success of an NPO in our rapidly changing world.
