It is like sitting down and discussing business situations with an experienced CPA mentor. An attendee said the course could also be called “Case Studies to Resolve Professional Challenges”. This session was created and is presented by a veteran CFO who has created seminars that over 16,000 accountants have signed up for and are known for practicality, examples, and humour and who also is a prolific writer of published cases.
