Go Green with scacpa
After crunching the numbers, we realized that more than 38,000 sheets of paper, or five trees were used to prepare handouts and evaluations for PIUs in 2009! That got us thinking: if our members are already making the move toward paperless offices — why aren't we? That's why in 2010 all SCACPA PIUs will make the paperless transition. Materials for PIUs will only be available electronically. You, as an attendee, will be able to download the presentation and save it to your own computer!
Comments from 2009 PIU Participants
"Although I keep up with the news, I appreciated the overview of financial events from the last year and learned how some headlines tie to CPAs in ways I had not considered."
"It was just the right mix of essential information and networking opportunities with fellow members."
"It is important to know how others view my profession."
"Changes are going to come from every direction. The PIU is an excellent presentation of current news and issues impacting our profession."
