The Arizona State Society of CPA's is developing final agenda
details on its annual Construction Industry Conference scheduled for August
27th, so SAVE THE DATE!!
CFMA members will receive the ASCPA member rate, so the price
is right! Topics will vary from TPT audits (yes, this gift is
continuing to 'give' via DOR audits of contractors!), to surety/banking
benchmarking (know how they look at YOUR company!), how you, as CFM can bring
added value to your company, revenue recognition (PRACTICAL implementation
this time . . . no more theory!) and much more . . . . many of the sessions
will bring your CFMA superstars as speakers/panelists!!
This years conference will be a bit different, as we will be
joining the "Corporate Finance" group of the ASCPA and will allow
attendees to attend general sessions that will be on a combined basis, and
choose breakout sessions between the those offered by both groups, you can go
to either. Flexible and attendee choice - yes!
SPONSORSHIPS are available and encouraged. This years
conference will include a more robust sponsor integration into the conference
