Course Description

Is your firm on the “bleeding” or stable edge of paperless technology? ...or is your technology so outdated that you are missing out entirely? Find out what digital technologies your peer firms are utilizing this upcoming busy season from AAA Advisory Board Member Roman H. Kepczyk as he presents the findings of the 2015 Paperless Benchmark Survey just completed in December in this one-hour MAPCast. Roman will not only discuss tax department findings that firms are using this year, but also will be covering audit and accounting, administration, and information technology benchmarks, as well as recommendations on trends and products he is predicting will impact the year ahead!
