MYCPE ONE

Unified CPE for Multi-Credential Professionals in a Forensic Accounting Firm

Mid-Sized Firm | Forensic | 22 CPAs | Southeast

Meridian Forensic Accounting in Atlanta specializes in litigation support, fraud investigation, and expert witness services. Their 22 professionals hold an unusual mix of credentials: CPAs, CFEs, CFFAs, and CVAs, each with different CPE requirements from different credentialing bodies. Managing four separate compliance tracks manually had created a complex, error-prone system that consumed enormous administrative resources. MYCPE ONE unified all credential CPE into one platform.
