Overview:

This Webinar is sponsored by Ascent-Portal

In this webinar, we will address two critical needs facing CPAs today:

  1. Understanding and Responding to the FTC Ruling of June 2023: Many CPAs are either unaware of the recent FTC ruling and its implications for their business or are uncertain about the next steps after receiving IRS emails, letters, and notices. We will break down the ruling, explain what it means for your practice, and provide actionable steps to ensure compliance.

  2. Transitioning to a Secure Mobile Business Model: As CPAs increasingly move towards a mobile business model for themselves and their teams, they face questions about how to make this transition smoothly and securely. We'll cover strategies for becoming mobile, maintaining security, and implementing these practices across your entire firm.

First, we'll delve into the recent FTC ruling from June 2023, its implications for your business, and the necessary steps you should take in response to IRS emails, letters, and notices.
