SSARS 21 changed the landscape for CPAs associated with the unaudited financial statements of nonpublic entities.

In addition, many CPAs are not aware of the ethical implications of preparing financial statements in anticipation of a compilation, review, or audit.
This Online CPE Webinar on Accounting will cover the following Key Topics:
This online CPE webinar will also provide attendees with a hands-on application for performing preparation and compilation engagements.
