The Maryland Association of CPAs (MACPA) kicked off its fall series of Professional Issues Updates for members at the Shepperd Pratt Conference Center. These engaging and informative sessions are the foundation of our “24 hours of free CPE” promise to help our members through these challenging economic times. The member feedback was extremely positive.
Our Net Promoter Score came in at 9.5, or 84 percent promoters and zero percent detractors, based on our question, “Would you recommend MACPA to your friends (scale of 1 to 10)?”
The themes of this update centered on technology (cloud, Big Data, mobile, and social), regulatory (legislative and standards) changes, and new opportunities and emerging leader issues. This is also the first series to include the MACPA Live talks from our keynotes at our Innovation Summit this past June. Featured were CPA2Biz, CCH, Avalara, and Office Tools Professional. Check them out on our YouTube Channel.
This year features all new content and covers “Black Swans,” Big Data, talent shortage, mobile, cloud, and of course the latest on standards, regulations, and legislative changes that CPAs need to know. Still plenty more to come as we travel around Maryland.
