Overview
Sessions covered in this On-Demand replay of the Not-for-Profit Accounting Conference:
Economic & Financial Market Outlook: 2024-2028
Will inflation stay high and compel the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates, even if doing so risks causing a recession? Or will inflation decline further, allowing the Fed to lower rates and result in nothing worse than a "soft landing" for the economy? Will the bull market in common stocks continue or has a bear-market decline become inevitable? Will the economy stagnate or rebound after this fall’s elections? How will unprecedented federal deficits affect our living standards down the road? What other economic and financial risks and opportunities lie ahead? Learn about the most reliable indicators and what they mean for us all in 2024 and beyond.
Staffing & Succession Planning: Attracting, Developing & Retaining Talent in Today's Environment
Whether a nonprofit is seeking experts in finance, fundraising, program management or executive leadership, the quest for top talent is more intense than ever before. From innovative compensation strategies to dynamic professional growth opportunities and forward-thinking succession plans, this interactive session will explore the evolving landscape of talent acquisition and retention. Don't miss out on the chance to gain invaluable insights and strategies to thrive in the competitive talent market.
Technology & Creating Staff Efficiencies
Explore how not-for-profits can utilize technology in spend management (accounts payable and credit card automation) and the close process to create efficiencies, giving staff more time for analysis of financial information instead of performing manual processes.
Ethical Implications of Using Generative AI
The practical application of artificial intelligence (AI) is spreading like wildfire with the release of powerful applications such as ChatGPT. A byproduct of this evolution is the origination of new ethical dilemmas for CPAs on how to address the use of this technology in the performance of their services. This session will provide a practical framework for addressing the various ethical issues that can arise with the application of AI in nonprofit entities. Ample resources will be provided to help you develop an AI usage policy for your nonprofit that will enable you to harness the power of AI safely and responsibly.
