Course Description

One way to help avoid a professional liability claim is to be aware of the evolving exposures within the profession.

CPAs are keenly aware of mitigating risks for their clients.

What about their own personal risk?

There are risk implications in every decision a CPA makes and every action a CPA takes. The benefits of each decision made must be balanced with its professional liability risk.

Many of us are familiar with traditional E&O coverage and general liability coverages. However, technology and litigation has quickly changed our risk landscape. During this one-hour CPE webinar, we'll address insurance needs CPAs should consider in today’s modern world.

Professional indemnity insurance, error and omission insurance, or malpractice insurance, an accountant’s professional liability policy insures you and your accounting practice from clients or other third parties claiming that your professional services caused them financial harm. Quality professional liability insurance is a must--especially for CPAs. Professional Liability insurance not only can help protect you, your employees and your business financially by providing a defense and paying damages in the event of a claim, but also helps to maintain your firm’s reputation when facing allegations of errors in your professional services.

Topics covered during this CPE course includes:

•Cybersecurity exposures

•Pandemic relief protection

•Litigation and disciplinary proceeding protection

In this online CPE webinar, you'll learn how to identify and evaluate the risk implications of your decisions and learn strategies to respond based on your firm’s level of risk tolerance.
