Course Description

Join us for a one hour presentation:
In the late 1990s the AICPA and state societies cooperated in bringing together CPAs from across the country to develop an unprecedented grassroots vision for the profession for the 21st century and beyond. From this, the CPA Vision Project was established, which identified the profession’s core competencies, core values and core services – as well as defining the following core purpose for the profession: “CPAs: Making sense of a complex and changing world.” The AICPA has embarked on the next stage of the CPA profession’s effort to anticipate and plan for the future. CPA Horizons 2025 reaches out to accounting profession members for insight on how global forces will affect the profession. You can take part in planning for the future of the profession and for the future of your firm by conducting a “Future Forum” of your own. Who better within the accounting practice to conduct such a initiative than the professional managing the firm? To help with the process, AICPA-PCPS has produced a CPA Horizons 2025 Toolkit, which was co-developed by the Business Learning Institute and Sounding Board Ink. Heidi Brundage, AICPA-PCPS and Tom Hood, Maryland Association of CPAs and Business Learning Institute, also created a step-by-step video on how to conduct a “Future Forum” at your firm. This one-hour session MAPCast will provide you with the appropriate tools and guidance you need to plan for the future. Presenter, Jeanie Price will walk participants through the video, answer questions and provide tips as to how to facilitate this outstanding program in your offices as well as provide you and your firm with the tools needed for success.

PCPS members may register at the AAA member rate.
