The major topics that will be covered in this course include:All times listed are Eastern Time ZoneWeek 1: CFO Series: Execute Your Strategy: Turn Plans into ResultsCPE: 2Field of Study: Auditing and Business Management & Organization Discussion Leader: Robert Mims, CPADate: Friday, September 4, 11:00 amDescription: Organizations that execute a wise strategy succeed; others are executed in the market. Many organizations invest significant time in strategic planning but fall short when it comes to execution. According to McKinsey, most fail to properly execute their strategy. This session explores the critical transition from strategy to performance while challenging outdated planning models and myths. We often don't think of strategy in the same context of longer-term organizational projects, like ERP transitions or risk management. Why should you consider "killing" your current plan and building a new plan centered around financial performance? We'll dive into the reasons strategies fail, uncover the practical tools for bridging the planning-performance gap, and explore how strong financial integration enables strategy to succeed. We will review what works and what must be stopped immediately. Week 2: CFO Series: Advanced Financial Analysis: Use the Right ToolsCPE: 2Field of Study: FinanceDiscussion Leader: Brian Maturi, MBA, FCA & Don Minges, MBADate: Friday, September 11, 11:00 amDescription: Humans are hard-wired to fear uncertainty, but we can learn from the ambiguity that is common today. The upside of uncertainty is that it is the gateway to new possibilities, including new tools. The analytical tools we currently use were designed for the physical world, but today we live in a data-driven digital world, especially for those in the service economy. What are the best tools to deal with unknowns and ambiguity in today's environment? We will show you how to use the right tools in the proper manner. Week 3: CFO Series: Accounting for People: Trends, Costs, & TalentCPE: 2Field of Study: Accounting and Business Management & OrganizationDiscussion Leader: Robert Mims, CPADate: Friday, September 18, 11:00 amDescription: Do you truly feel qualified to manage HR? Leaders are increasingly responsible for the human resources function, despite limited formal training in people management. This seminar explores how to account for people as a valued asset rather than an expense. Managing the costs, trends, and risks associated with today's ever-changing workforce has changed. From recruiting and retention, to engagement and compensation alternatives. The modern finance leader must understand how employee-related decisions drive both performance and profitability. This session will examine the financial implications of HR trends, workforce planning, and the evolving role of talent strategy. We'll also explore how to influence investments in people through accounting and reporting tools. Successful organizations have moved employees to the left side of their balance sheet. Have you? Week 4: CFO Series: Amazingly Crazy Fraud Cases - Lessons LearnedCPE: 2Field of Study: AuditingDiscussion Leader: Robert Berry MBA, CPA, CIA, CISADate: Friday, September 25, 11:00 amDescription: Some fraud cases are so unbelievable, they sound like Hollywood scripts, but they're all real, and we can learn a lot from them. In this fast-paced, story-driven discussion we'll review some outrageous fraud cases; from forged financials and luxury lifestyles, to deepfakes and fake companies that fooled the smartest people in the room. You'll hear the stories, spot the red flags, and walk away with practical takeaways to help you strengthen your professional skepticism, identify fraud warning signs, and build a better fraud prevention mindset.
