Learn details about CPE Requirements and Reporting from the current Chairman of the CPE Advisory Committee for the Arizona State Board of Accountancy. Why a course dedicated to this topic? Although this topic may seem simple, there are details that even the most seasoned practitioners can trip over, which causes unneeded administrative headaches. This course will provide a refresher on CPE requirements, describe the CPE audit process, discuss the most common mistakes found during an audit and potential consequences of those mistakes.

At this year’s Annual Meeting and Awards Luncheon, we will honor our newest Life Member Debra Davenport, former Arizona Auditor General. We will also honor Katharine Drake, Ph.D. our 2019 Excellence in Teaching Award Recipient. We will hear from our keynote speaker, AICPA Past Chair Eric Hansen. 

During his time as AICPA chair, Hansen focused on three issues that pose significant opportunities for the accounting profession.

• Prepare the profession to capitalize on improvements in technology.
• Solidify the profession's position in the global marketplace.
• Ensure that employers are investing in all members of the profession to evolve skills and competencies and cultivate future leaders as members of the Baby Boom generation retire.

Hansen has been with BKD CPAs & Advisors since 1985 and is currently the Chief Operating Officer.
