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. Business fraud is a problem that can affect every organization. Whether you are a for profit or nonprofit organization, business owner, controller, CFO, manager, financial statement preparer or auditor, fraud is serious business and it's effects can be devastating. This fast moving seminar will provide a comprehensive look at fraud from both the technical, legal, and operational perspectives. Particular attention will be directed to "best practices" in implementing SAS 99 and ways management can limit opportunities to commit fraud by establishing and monitoring appropriate controls. The panel of experts will address the unique internal control problems of smaller organizations with limited staff and resources. In addition, the program will address techniques for conducting inquiries of management, "brainstorming" and other techniques and common types of fraud. Learn and master new skills, such as audit team brainstorming sessions and interview techniques, to carry out your responsibility to make reasonable efforts to discover fraud. In addition, learn to identify and prevent common types of fraud and the steps every accountant and financial manager can and should take to protect assets and financial statements from fraud.
