Volume to Value: A New Era of Precision Hiring in Accounting examines how accounting firms are shifting from high-volume recruiting models to "precision hiring" as AI adoption accelerates and talent scarcity continues. Participants will explore why traditional hiring processes often overemphasize technical accounting knowledge while under-assessing the competencies that most impact performance-critical thinking, professional communication, and AI ethics awareness. The course explains how AI-enabled recruiting tools can support candidate screening, assessment, and retention forecasting, and why firms that do not modernize their hiring approach may struggle to compete for top talent. Participants will leave with practical approaches to competency-based assessment, ethical guardrails for AI use in hiring, and a high-level implementation roadmap with metrics to evaluate quality of hire, performance, and retention. This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions during the event.

This course profiles Brenda, a financial executive from the state of Washington. Despite earning her college degree, Brenda did not find employment in her area of study. Instead, she landed a series of dead-end jobs. Business reversals frequently led to the loss of employment. When a company that she knew to be unethical offered her an executive position that included bookkeeping tasks, including overseeing all finances, she accepted. While on the job, Brenda saw owners of the company misappropriating funds. Rather than reporting the fraud, she created an elaborate scheme to benefit herself - without the owner's knowledge. Her bad decisions led to a guilty plea for wire fraud, after authorities accused her of absconding with more than $600,000 in corporate funds. A prison term of 20 months followed. Listen and learn from Brenda's experience. This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions during the event.

Surgent's Lessons Learned from Successful Companies

Member Price: $99

Why do some companies fail while others grow and succeed for generations? Common perceptions often attribute organizational success to great leadership, timing, or unique ideas. Although these traits certainly play a role in helping companies grow, research shows that corporate success often hinges on whether a company is value driven. Such companies have core ideologies that drive almost every major decision. In this course, we look at empirical data on why some companies succeed while others fail. By looking at companies that were created prior to 1950 (e.g., Disney, Marriott, or 3M), we can understand why certain organizations have been able to grow and achieve exceptional success through many different eras in the American economy. The lessons learned from these visionary companies can be broadly applied to organizations of all sizes, including accounting and financial service firms.

Resilience training was originally developed to strengthen individuals in high-risk groups like law enforcement, firefighters, and the military.

A confident accounting or finance person makes better decisions and thinks in deliberate ways to meet adversity and pressure. Resilience is the ability to exercise tenacity, bounce back from tough times, or even triumph in the face of adversity. Today's accounting professionals will experience challenges but are able to reframe then as learning opportunities. Resilient accounting and finance professionals push their limits, learn from their mistakes, and are able to transform an organization and themselves.

The ADA was intended to ensure "equality of opportunity" and "economic self-sufficiency" for individuals with disabilities. Yet both laws have proven challenging for employers. These laws are complex with rules that can be confusing and often misunderstood. This webinar is designed to provide information, guidelines, and examples of the key concepts under both laws.
