MEGA CPE Conference Virtually Delivers up to 24 CPE Credits
As CPAs continue to pivot their ways of work and learning during the pandemic, the FICPA is reshaping its CPE offerings. We remain committed to delivering the best, most timely continuing professional education experiences that our attendees have come to expect, in a safe environment. Through this lens we have made the decision to transition the Mega CPE Conference from an in-person gathering to a fully virtual event. The accounting profession is in the midst of a revolution. Never before have CPAs and other financial professionals been bombarded with change of this magnitude. The 2020 virtual Mega Conference will offer up to 24 CPE credits across a wide range of subjects including new COVID-19 topics. From taxation and employee benefits to technology, financial planning, auditing topics and more, our top-rated Mega Conference will help you complete the CPE credits you need by the June 30, 2020 deadline.

COVID-19
C O N C E N T R AT I O N DAY 3 | 8 CPE
The world has transformed dramatically in such a short period of time. At the beginning of 2020, CPAs were expecting a more routine tax season. Then along came COVID-19. Segments of the economy — such as the travel and hospitality industries — fell off the radar. Existing engagements for all areas of practice may be affected. What does this new landscape look like? How do we navigate these uncharted territories? This conference is designed to answer your most pressing questions. Engage with experts knowledgeable about these urgent issues-both on the national and statewide level. Join us, as we come together to meet these new challenges head on.
