Course Description

Our current administration was put in place to enact a radically different economic agenda. This disruption has opened up opportunities while forcing companies to confront significant volatility in many aspects of their operations. This course provides participants with an overview of recent developments in the areas of corporate reporting, risk management, controls, and compliance. Coverage will be updated throughout the year to reflect emerging trends and issues. Other topics covered include issues faced by public and private companies and the CPAs who serve them.

Note: Content will be geared to the interests of the audience (public vs. non-public companies, CPAs in industry and public practice)

Highlights include:

  • Economic and business outlook for 2020 and 2021
  • Challenges and opportunities for public, tech, and private companies
  • Regulatory update: SEC, PCAOB, AICPA, etc.
  • Data breaches and privacy: implications for CFOs
  • Cybersecurity: regulatory and reporting developments
  • Is there a crisis in financing small and start-up businesses?
