The past years has witnessed a number of high-profile corporate scandals: Enron, Tyco International, Healthsouth, Global Crossing, and WorldCom (now-MCI). While these are the most glaring, there are many more companies whose shareholders and employees have suffered as stock prices have fallen, such as Cisco, Nokia, Lucent Technologies, and most internet-related businesses. The course examines recent developments in finance and accounting and a series of corporate accounting scandals on the heels of the Enron debacle that have led to new sweeping accounting guidelines, proposals, and legislation - most notably, the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act. Many of the issues surrounding the SOX Act - especially Section 402, Internal Control over Financial Reporting - are discussed. The general issues on corporate governance and corporate social responsibility (CSR), including stock option expensing, are also covered.

How to Master the Art of Marketing Professional Services

New business is the life-blood of every CPA and consulting firm.
Some CPA/consulting firms today are going out of business, being forced into mergers, surrendering superb talent, losing valued clients, being bought out or slowly disintegrating before everyone's eyes because not enough new clients and profitable new work are coming in to sustain the firm and pay off the partners who want to retire.
The purpose of this course, "How to Master the Art of Marketing Professional Services" is to share with you what I have learned over the last twenty-five years as a CPA and the last twenty-plus years as the top business development consultant to our business. My goal is to provide you with a proven, methodical way to build your practice and make it more profitable and enjoyable for you.
This course has to do specifically with something called "Marketing." The "I-Hate-Selling Course" and the I-Hate-Selling Book (visit our website www.ihateselling.com) that I am well known for, deals with "Selling." These are two distinct subjects, all mandatory and vital to practice development. We will explain the differences between "marketing" and "selling."
In this course we will teach you how to avoid many of the "traps" of ineffective marketing which can be extremely costly, time consuming and disheartening. You will find no theory in this course, only what produces the best possible results from the "marketing" effort.

Budgets provide control over the immediate environment, help to master the financial aspects of the job and department, and solve problems before they occur. Budgets focus on the importance of evaluating alternative actions before decisions are actually implemented. This course explains what budgets are, how they work, how to prepare and present them, and how to analyze budget figures and results. The new development and use of budgets at various managerial levels within a business are discussed.

Preparing an Entrepreneurial Business Plan
|
|
Price:
$109.95
|
|
This course is written to help entrepreneurs be more successful. Over the years, the authors have started, bought, and/or sold numerous businesses. Each time, we found that the preparation of a business plan helped focus the business, helped make it more likely to succeed, and (in the case of selling) helped in a profitable harvest. Writing a business plan is not difficult. However, most entrepreneurs would rather go to the dentist than write a business plan. Many say, "Its in my head." Others try to get "experts" to do their planning for them. Wrong! The absolute best business plans are written by entrepreneurs - not so-called "experts." Even those with mediocre writing skills can do it.
The foundation of our free enterprise system is entrepreneurship. After a rather lengthy period of decline, the entrepreneurial spirit is enjoying an incredible revival in the United States. Indeed, the entrepreneur may well come to characterize American business in the 21st century in much the same way that the organization man characterized business in the 20th. Books on entrepreneurship are being published in increasing numbers, and some 130 leading universities are teaching courses, providing majors, and even offering degrees in entrepreneurship.

Wage and Hour Laws
|
|
Price:
$109.95
|
|
In service for nearly a century, the Department of Labor is an executive department of the U.S. government. As defined in the enabling legislation, its duties are to foster, promote and develop the welfare of the wage earners of the United States, to improve their working conditions, and to advance their opportunities for profitable employment."
This course provides an overview of the wage and hour laws as mandated by the U.S. Department of Labor under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Wage and hour laws have been in place for some time now; however, changes to existing laws and new laws do come about. A recent change to the Fair Labor Standards Act went into effect August 23, 2004 and is defined by the Department as the "FairPay rules." This new law guarantees overtime protection to salaried employees earning less than $23,660 per year - or $455 per week - thereby strengthening overtime rights for millions of American workers who were previously denied overtime under the old rules.
The Department of Labor enforces more than 180 federal labor laws. These mandates and the regulations that implement them cover many workplace activities for about 10 million employers and 125 million workers. Minimum wage, overtime pay, freedom from employment discrimination, unemployment insurance, and workers compensation are areas of high concern.

7 Habits of Highly Defective People
|
|
Price:
$39.95
|
|
Simple things can limit our success as individuals and as teams. We find it hard to support people we don't "get along with." We find it difficult to contribute to projects we don't agree with. We wait for others to meet our needs, overestimate our worth, let others push our "hot buttons" and work toward goals that may not be in alignment with the rest of the team or the team leader. In general, it is often difficult to manage our personal issues in a professional manner. It is for this very reason that, not surprisingly, most people limit their careers not through technical incompetence, but through interpersonal incompetence.
This course explores seven habits of "highly defective people" by exploring the myth that success is an individual effort, accomplished by digging in our heels and pulling ourselves up by our boot straps. Success is, and has always been, a joint venture. That is, we achieve with and through others. To be successful, we must learn simple, practical and effective ways to perform at our peak. But simple doesn't always mean easy.
While it is easy to be a "highly effective person" or a "team player" when everything is "going our way," it is much harder to be a peak performer under less then optimum conditions.

Accounting and Finance for Non-Financial Managers and Entrepreneurs
|
|
Price:
$200.95
|
|
This course covers what every business person needs to know about accounting and finance. It is directed toward the businessperson who must have financial and accounting knowledge but has not had formal training in finance or accounting…perhaps a newly promoted middle manager or a marketing manager of a small company who must know some basic finance concepts. The entrepreneur or sole proprietor also needs this knowledge; he or she may have brilliant product ideas, but not the slightest idea about financing. The goal of the course is to provide a working knowledge of the fundamentals of finance and accounting that can be applied, regardless of the firm size, in the real world. It gives non-financial managers the understanding they need to function effectively with their colleagues in finance.

Beyond Words: A Practical Guide to Understanding Nonverbal Communication
|
|
Price:
$59.95
|
|
"I didn't hear that." "Oh, is that what you meant?" "Gosh, I'm sorry. I though you meant..." "I'm afraid you must have misunderstood me. What I said was.." Unfortunately for productivity, profit and even employee morale, these statements are uttered far too frequently in the workplace on any given day.
Nonverbal communication, what we don't say, can cause as many problems as what we do say. We are often quite conscious of the effects of our words because we can see the expression or hear the response. The effects of what is not said may be much more subtle, but they are critical to our success or failure in an organization.
This course has been designed to help you become better at understanding the importance of nonverbal communication. Through increased awareness of others' nonverbal behavior, and increased insight into your own nonverbal behavior, you can begin to become as master communicator; someone who wins the trust and respect of others, and is influential in the workplace.
In this fast and fun course, author Elizabeth Sharp-Henricks explores two questions: What is the role of nonverbal communication in organizations? How can you become a better nonverbal communicator? Our goal is to increase your sensitivity to nonverbal messages and to help you improve your own nonverbal skills as a leader (or future leader!) in your organization.

Effective Business Writing for Accountants
|
|
Price:
$25.95
|
|
In 1997, the AICPA Competency Model for the New Financial Professional listed effective business writing as a necessary skill of today's accountant. Grammar, style and tone, organization, clarity and conciseness: these are all now part of the accountant's stock in trade. How are your written communication skills? How long has it been since you paid close attention to these areas as part of your education and training?
The following course will refresh your memory and improve your skill. Explanations and examples directly relate to the important writing tasks that you do as an accountant. From the first day on the job, accountants learn that writing is an integral part. Every specialty - tax, auditing, systems, etc. - in every practice - public, management, not-for-profit, and government - involves writing. A very important type of writing done by accountants is the narrative portion of financial statements, such as footnote disclosures. In 1997, Arthur Levitt, chairman of the SEC, said, "Disclosure is not disclosure if it does not communicate."
This course will give you ideas on effective business writing that you can apply in your job tomorrow. Your knowledge of accounting will become all the more valuable as you learn to communicate it more effectively to others.

How Could We Have Been so Stupid? Decision Making for High Performance Teams
|
|
Price:
$65.95
|
|
President John F. Kennedy is reported to have asked that question after realizing how badly he had miscalculated when he approved the Bay of Pigs invasion. Everyone asks themselves that same question each time we find ourselves embroiled in our own personal Bay of Pigs. Why do people so often fail to look into the available alternatives with care, even when vital consequences are at stake? What contributes to making a sound choice that we can live with? What contributes to making such a poor job of appraising the consequences that they head straight for catastrophe? These are the questions this course explores.
Decision making is one of the most important functions in organizations. Daily, hourly, even minute by minute, members of an organization are making decisions that affect the lives of others and the success of the business. The quality of these decisions is measures of the effectiveness of the organization. Historically, the benchmark of a good leader has been their ability to make good decisions quickly.

North Carolina Accountancy Law Course - Ethics, Principles and Professional Responsibilities for Nor
|

Price:

Ethical behavior involves more than mere knowledge of right and wrong. It involves an ability to think about the impact our behavior has on our reputation and the satisfaction of those we serve. Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) are professionals who are hired to meet the expectations of employers and other third parties who rely on their work. Many who hire CPAs, hire them because they cant do the things a CPA can do. However, even more important than the inability to do the work of a CPA, those who hire CPAs are often unable to evaluate the work performed by a CPA. Does the taxpayer know that the tax return is properly prepared? Is the attest client sure the CPA put forth an appropriate effort in arriving at the attest opinion? Are the financial accounting transactions recorded and summarized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles? To be honest, most third parties who rely on the work of a CPA merely assume that the efforts of the CPA were directed at satisfying their expectations and needs in an appropriate manner. Thus, the accounting profession demands that CPAs remain aware of the reliance that is placed on their work and the responsibility they have for performing that work in a conscientious and professional manner.

Weve Got to Start Meeting Like This! A Guide to Fast, Fun and Fruitful Meetings
|
|
Price:
$65.95

|
"People can be motivated to be good not by telling them that hell is a place where they will burn, but by telling them it is an unending committee meeting. On judgment day, the Lord will divide people by telling those on his right hand to enter the kingdom and those on his left to break into small groups." Reverend R.J. Kennedy. If you agree with this old joke that depicts being in a meeting as being in hell, then this course is for you! The Annenberg School of Communications at UCLA and the University of Minnesotas Training and Development Research Center report that executives spend no less than 40%, and sometimes as much as 50%, of their time in meetings. What makes sitting through most of these like being banished to the netherworld? Surveyed professionals report that it is because at least half of that meeting time is unproductive and that another 25% of the time is wasted on discussions of irrelevant items. Despite our disdain for them, meetings continue to be the primary vehicle that organizations use to build cohesiveness, determine strategies for achieving objectives, and develop and market products/services across departments.

A 1031 Exchange Alternative

Price:
$39.95

Learn about the Private Annuity Trust, a vehicle that allows owners of highly appreciated property or closely held businesses to defer capital gains and depreciation recapture, as well as avoid estate taxes. Unlike a 1031 exchange, this vehicle allows the property owner to sell the asset without having to roll into another property. The obvious benefit of tax deferral is the ability to earn interest on taxes that would have been paid in a normal transaction. The trust allows the property holder to receive an income stream for life, and allows them to leave the market, like real estate, and still defer taxes, with direct payment to beneficiaries upon death

Accountant's Guide to Employer-Sponsored Health Plans`

Price:
$95.95

Group health plans consistently rank as the most important welfare benefit for employeesand as the most expensive welfare benefit for employees. Consequently, the proper selection of a group health plan and its efficient administration are vital to both employers and employees.
In the past, the choice of tax-favored health plans was generally limited to traditional "sniffle and sneeze" indemnity plans or managed care arrangements, such as health maintenance organizations (HMOs). Moreover, the rules and regulations related to health plans were relatively simple.
On the plus side, recent tax law changes and pronouncements from the IRS have introduced new health spending account arrangements that are designed to cut costs for employers and give employees increased control over their health care arrangements.
On the down side, however, group health plans have become subject to increasingand increasingly complicatedregulation.
This course is designed to present an overview of the multiplicity of rules that may come into play when advising your clients on the choice of a health plan and on its operation.

While tax reform provisions have changed the tax on profits realized from the disposition of real estate, investors still seek escape hatches from the capital gain tax. Tax-deferred exchanges permit the disposition of property often with the taxpayer receiving significant cash but without the payment of any tax. Functionally, an exchange is a bridge over the normally taxable event of moving from one property to another.
This course alerts the practitioner to the different planning opportunities that surround exchanging. Participants will be able to identify, analyze, and handle effectively the complex tax problems that arise under 1031. This understanding will be directly applied to the structuring and audit survival of multi-party and delayed exchanges.
