Take Assessment Watch Video- Interview With Cyber Security Expert Nick Casillas
-
- We all remember the first email we received from a “foreign dignitary” offering us a ridiculous sum of money in exchange for paying a small amount of taxes, claiming the funds had come from an unknown distant relative. Needless to say, the online threat landscape has evolved into a much more sophisticated, global issue, affecting people and companies of all shapes and sizes. If you are a client of Parker, Smith, & Feek, then you have likely heard us speak on the importance of cyber and social engineering coverage to help indemnify you after an attack. Today, I’d like to give you more guidance on prevention and the current threats that may affect you.
- A Three Part Managerial Cost Accounting Lecture
-
- For many accountants there is confusion and a lack of consensus with how to allocate costs to products and service lines. I refer to this as “a mystery in a box to accountants”. To solve this mystery here are three lectures to accounting professionals and students from a skilled and experienced accountant – me – that explains the problem and how to solve it. Even if you believe you have already ‘graduated’ from a “Cost Accounting” course in college or have a CPA, I encourage you to sit in the back of our virtual lecture hall and audit these three lectures.
