Individuals or groups are able to participate in these sessions from the convenience of your own space – using your device or in your conference room with members of your team - and immediately put what you’ve learned to work in your department and/or organization. Review the following list for CPAFMA’s upcoming MAPCasts – and register today! PAFMs are able to participate in all MAPCasts and receive recordings without charge.
Registration
All registration is done on-line with the names and email addresses of each individual guest. Log-in details will be emailed to all registrants approximately 1-2 days prior to each session.
Fees and Payment Procedures
The fee for each participant location is normally $25.00 for CPAFMA members and PCPS members. Non-members may register for an additional fee. All PAFMs may register for free. Invoicing is available to CPAFMA and PCPS members only. Non-members must pre-pay.
Delivery System
The CPA Firm Management Association uses the the Zoom platform for MAPCasts. Registrants will receive login instructions in advance by email and the virtual meeting room will open 15 minutes prior to the MAPCast start time. We recommend participants log-in 5-10 minutes prior to the start, allowing enough time to download and print any documents you wish to have available during the course presentation. It is recommended that you test your computer prior to attending a meeting. Attendees who need a certificate of attendance will need to respond to polls and/or chat questions to show their active participation.
Refund Policy
CPAFMA will not issue refunds for MAPCasts. If a registrant is unable to participate in the MAPCast and sends written notice to info@cpafma.org 48 hours prior to the session, a credit will be provided for a future MAPCast. Alert the CPAFMA staff member monitoring the MAPCast if technical difficulties are encountered and technical support will be provided to eliminate problems with future MAPCasts.
Additional Information
Live participation is required for CPE credit and must respond to poll questions to document their active participation. All registrants will receive an email following the session with links to the slides and/or handouts, and a link to the MAPCast recording (unless otherwise stated). If you are unable to participate in the live session, you can still watch the recorded session, but you will not be eligible for CPE credits.
