Fall will soon be here, and with it marks the return of the PICPA Professional Issues Update tour around Pennsylvania. This is an excellent opportunity for PICPA members to receive two hours of free CPE while interacting with PICPA leadership and your peers on key issues and trends affecting your practice, your business, accounting education, and the state of the economy and business in Pennsylvania.

More than 1,000 of our members take time from their busy schedules each year to learn about legislative initiatives in Harrisburg and Washington and the impact these issues will have going forward. Key professional and strategic issues on the PICPA and AICPA agendas are discussed, and program participants have the opportunity to direct the discussion toward areas that affect your ability to provide the best service to your clients or employers.

As we work to finalize the agenda for the Professional Issues Update program, I would be interested in hearing from you on key topics or issues you would like to see included in this program. Which legislative or regulatory issues are causing you the most angst or providing you with new opportunities? What is the PICPA or AICPA doing (or not doing) to add value to your membership? What issues are keeping you up at night? Comment below to let me know or e-mail me at mcolgan@picpa.org.

This is your Professional Issues Update, so help us shape the agenda to your liking!

A list of program dates and registration is available at www.picpa.org/professionalissues.
