Here are the May 2022 topics:
SEC Updates: Climate Related Disclosures & Equity Compensation – Part I

Field of Study: Accounting
The SEC has been very hands-on recently with respect to their agenda. Takis Makridis, CEO of Equity Methods and David Outlaw, director of valuation and HR advisory services at Equity Methods, give us an update. They give us insights on climate-related disclosures requiring registrars to include these in their registration statements and periodic reports, equity compensation disclosures, proposed rule 402(x) on Reg S-K, SAB no. 120, the proposed share repurchase disclosure rule and more.

SEC Updates: Climate Related Disclosures & Equity Compensation – Part II
Field of Study: Accounting
Back in 2020, the human capital disclosures became mandatory, and the SEC took a principle based approach. Takis Makridis, CEO of Equity Methods and David Outlaw, director of valuation and HR advisory services at Equity Methods, discuss the new era of financial reporting. This includes non-financial disclosures, ISS updates to burn rate methodology, how these are displayed in the 2022 reports and why they matter and the impact of macroeconomic factors on compensation strategies.

The Flexible Labor Model for Accounting and Finance
Field of Study: Business Management & Organization
Prior to Covid-19, leading accounting and finance functions were deploying more flexible labor models. This trend only accelerated after the pandemic which helped companies deal with the many new challenges. Tim Hird, Executive Vice President with Robert Half and Jay Thompson, Managing Director with Protiviti explore this shift and the implications for both companies and workers alike.

Leadership in Challenging Times
Field of Study: Personal Development
The pandemic has taught us how important leadership is. When faced with the challenges brought on by the pandemic, companies with strong and effective leaders weathered the storm and in fact many prospered. Author, lecturer, and CPA Frank Castillo discusses the importance of trustworthiness, the root causes of burnout, and what leaders should be doing to meet today's challenges.
