Accounting Risk Management Program - Atlanta

Join us for a timely and practical half-day program focused on the evolving landscape of accounting risk management. We’ll explore how accounting and financial services firms can build stronger risk-tolerance frameworks, anticipate emerging threats, and implement policies that support sound judgment, consistent decision-making, and long-term resilience.

We will provide a legal update on conservation easements and employment issues. There will also be a presentation and panel discussion on AI platforms and their usage by accounting firms, a discussion of claims data and trends from the insurance industry, and guidance on best practices for preparing witnesses for depositions and testimony. 

The program begins with lunch and concludes with a networking reception, providing additional opportunities to connect with peers and continue the conversation.
