Breaking the Code: Accounting for Digital Assets
Field of Study: Accounting
Nearly 15 years ago, the usage of Bitcoin began at an almost hobbyist level. However, after multiple cycles of extreme exuberance and extreme pessimism, today’s attention from institutional investors and regulators alike points to the fact that crypto assets are here to stay. Vincent Papa, Associate Director at the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG), discusses pertinent topics like balance sheet classification, valuation and “proof of work” mining.

Enterprise Risk Management: Getting Started
Field of Study: Management Advisory Services
An Enterprise Risk Management program helps companies manage risks and accomplish their business goals. John McLaughlin, Executive Director and Founder of ERM Exchange, reviews the key aspects of an ERM program including the role of culture, how to assess your ERM program, and the keys to tying ERM into overall company strategy.

The Strategic Accountant: Leveraging Technology & Soft Skills
Field of Study: Management Advisory Services
Today’s accountants need to stay current and agile when it comes to leveraging the many technological tools at their disposal. It is important for the strategic accountant to utilize technology to maximize this agility. Kimberly Ellison-Taylor, CEO of KET Solutions, focuses on innovation, strategy, transformation, and inclusive leadership in the accounting profession. She offers guidance for leveraging technology to become a strategic accounting partner.

Worker Classification and the QBI Deduction
Field of Study: Taxes
The Qualified Business Income Deduction (QBID), also known as Section 199A, was included as part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Dr. Ini Adensanya, CPA and award-winning educator, and Timothy Dreyer, tax and legal consultant with over 27 years at the IRS, review what goes into the QBI deduction and how it is calculated. They also explain the key considerations involved with worker classification.
