the study, already underway and in the preliminary reporting stages, is examining the links between the relative success of cpa firms and their approach to professional development.<\/p>\n

\u201crecent studies have focused on individual preferences for cpe and professional development,\u201d said josh goldman, cae, vice president, learning, oscpa. \u201cwe wanted to take a different approach by focusing on the return on investment a growth-oriented business can achieve by using organizational learning and other human capital initiatives to drive bottom-line performance. people are the greatest asset, and expense, for professional service firms and we are pleased to sponsor research to explore the characteristics of an effective human capital culture that are present in high performing firms.\u201d<\/p>\n

the survey is also investigating a host of specialty skills including business valuation, employee benefit plans, fair value measurement, fraud prevention, government, health care, international accounting and several others.<\/p>\n

\u201cwhen it comes to professional development, most firms leave huge amounts of money on the table. the key is not to shop for cheaper cpe,\u201d said michael ramos, principal, michael ramos + associates. \u201cinstead, firms should take a more strategic approach to how they manage their learning function and demand a higher return on their spend just like they would from any other investment. the survey shows more successful firms are moving in this direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

preliminary results are already showing that the top priorities for continuing professional development this year are led by tax issues.<\/p>\n

\u201ctax preparation and tax planning for individuals and for businesses are at the heart of what cpas may be best known for,\u201d said rick telberg, president and founder of 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research. \u201cand with the uncertainties looming in a presidential election year, cpas know they can\u2019t afford to miss a beat.\u201d<\/p>\n
