Highlights:
What is ACPEN? For the thirteenth year, TSCPA is joining the Accounting Continuing Professional Education Network (ACPEN) in an innovative and cooperative effort to help you, the CPA, gain the skills and knowledge that you need to succeed into the future. What do the broadcasts look like? ACPEN broadcasts are professionally produced, with a format that typically includes a panel of three to eight national experts. The panel will use discussion, demonstration or specially developed case studies to cover accounting, tax and other professionally important topics. All ACPEN broadcasts are fully interactive, allowing attendees to ask questions of the panel during and after each event. Do I just sit and watch TV for eight hours? ACPEN broadcasts are designed to be interactive and participants are encouraged to participate in every facet of the broadcasts. Bring your cell phone so you can call or email ACPEN and enhance your interaction with the panel. You can help guide the broadcast content! Ask questions in advance by using acpen.questions@businessprofessionals.net. Pose questions or fact situations the panel can respond to during the broadcast. You can literally help design the program. TSCPA will provide electronic course manuals for all ACPEN programs. Once you register, you will receive an e-mail containing a link to the electronic course manual. Since ACPEN broadcasts are designed to be as up-to-the-minute as possible, the manual content will not be finalized until the week before each broadcast. Other details to note: " Lunch is not provided. " Manuals/handouts are available via electronic access only. " Scheduled start and end times are different from regular CPE courses and conferences. " If you have any questions, please email cpe@tscpa.com before registering.

Description:
DURING THIS COURSE PARTICIPANTS WILL BE WATCHING A LIVE VIDEO PRESENTATION FEATURING A PANEL OF SPEAKERS. ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO INTERACT WITH THE SPEAKERS VIA PHONE, EMAIL OR FAX. It is a fact that, today, most marriages are likely to end in divorce. Often this occurs after years, when a couple has a family, substantial assets, perhaps a family-owned business, and significant tax issues. The family accountant must be prepared to effectively represent their clients during this difficult, often emotionally charged period. Every marriage dissolution has important accounting and tax implications. Often a small business, owned by the husband or wife, is involved. In addition, careful estate and financial planning efforts can be derailed. This all-new ACPEN course will share with you the key issues and strategies for representing clients during this difficult process. You will receive a basic review of the types of marriage dissolution in use today in the United States, and their legal implications. Our panel will review the key aspects of defining the engagement, along with the thorny ethical issues that often arise, especially with existing client relationships. The panel will also address financial considerations in property settlement, including forensic accounting techniques, and tax considerations involving temporary support, alimony, child support, and more. Our experts will also address budget and cash flow planning and liquidity, pre-divorce, during the process, and after the divorce is final. Join us for this practical course that will allow practitioners to better serve their clients during a traumatic process. Program Chair: Ronnie McClure, PhD, CPA, Lewisville, TX
