Surgent's Features and Benefits of SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs (2 hours)
-
Online
2.0 Credits
Member Price: $99
See more dates
A challenge for many small business owners is choosing the `right' type of retirement plan for their businesses. Many hesitate to adopt retirement plans for their businesses because they are intimidated by the governing rules. In those cases, SEP and SIMPLE IRAs are reasonable solutions because they are easy to establish, maintain, and communicate with employees; have minimal administrative costs; and are practical and efficient ways to start a retirement plan. These IRA-based plans - SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs - have low maintenance costs and are easy to communicate to employees. With IRA-based employer plans, employer contributions are sometimes discretionary, giving business owners the choice of whether to fund every year. Despite the simplicity of these plans, employers must ensure that applicable compliance requirements are met to avoid penalties. To that end, this course will cover some key provisions of SEP and SIMPLE IRAs. NOTE: This course qualifies for IRS CE (PTIN) credit. To receive IRS CE credit, please email your PTIN to profdev@orcpa.org at the end of the course. Surgent will report credit at the end of each quarter.If you have questions, you can contact Professional Development at 503-641-7200, ext. 3 or email profdev@orcpa.org.

Auditing For Fraud (2 hours)
-
Online
2.0 Credits
Member Price: $79
See more dates
Auditors are required by Generally Accepted Auditing Standards to perform audit procedures to determine if the financial statements are materially misstated due to error OR FRAUD. Unfortunately, in the past the profession has focused on misstatements due to errors and largely ignored to possibility of misstatements due to fraud. While SAS No. 122, AU 240, Consideration of Fraud in a Financial Statement Audit sets forth the procedures that auditors are required to perform in each audit to determine if the financial statements are materially misstated due to fraud, this program presents a practical approach to making such a determination. It’s not a substitute for the requirements in SAS 122, AU 240, but rather an informal supplement to the standard with some common-sense procedures which are designed from my over 30 plus years of directing fraud investigations. After attending this session, you will more than likely never look at a financial statement audit the same way.
