Happy New Year
January 1, 2010
Welcome to 2010! I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed holiday season. Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? Perhaps you resolved that you would not wait until the last minute to finish your continuing education and that you would do a better job at getting the required hours throughout the year. If you did (or even if you didn’t) make this resolution: attend the chapter’s Jan. 15 seminar. The topic is Online Accounting and Auditing Research. This seminar is such a great deal: eight hours of CalCPA Education Foundation CPE, A&A credit and the chance to help raise money for our chapter’s scholarship fund. For more information, please see the separate article in this Bulletin.
Also in January, CalCPA will hold its annual CPA Day at the Capitol in Sacramento. This day is a great opportunity for CPAs to talk directly to our state legislators and to discuss topics important to the profession. In particular, we will thank those lawmakers who were instrumental in supporting and passing this year’s CalCPA-sponsored legislation regarding substantial equivalency and several other issues. This is a great event, and all are welcome to attend. Feel free to contact Monica Thompson or me for more information. You can register online.
To all of our members—and especially to those of you in tax practice—before you put your nose to the grindstone and tune out everything else—let me wish you a very happy and prosperous 2010!
