SUMMARY:Bridging the resilience gap: achieving effective BCM for the future
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\nAcross the EMEA region\, organizations face an intricate web of modern disruptions:  macroeconomic pressures\, geopolitical instability\, regulatory changes and accelerating technological shifts. While most business continuity leaders report confidence in their resilience programs\, when disruption occurs\, dependency maps don’t hold up\, and recovery targets are missed. Traditional\, siloed approaches to continuity management often create an illusion of preparedness\, leaving critical operations unmapped and exposing organizations to unforeseen vulnerabilities when a live crisis hits. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, we will share findings from Optro’s new survey of 500 business continuity leaders worldwide\, including key data from Europe\, the UK\, and the Middle East. Drawing on these insights\, we will examine why mature continuity frameworks can still falter during disruptions\, focusing on regional friction points such as third-party concentration risk\, hidden ecosystem dependencies\, and fragmented internal silos. We will discuss how the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence and automated systems is introducing entirely new failure modes that traditional resilience programs aren’t prepared to handle. Attendees will learn how to break down internal silos\, synchronizing risk disciplines\, and evolving BCM from a static exercise into a dynamic capability built for long-term operational resilience. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\nIdentify and diagnose the “Resilience Gap” within your own organization by evaluating the common friction points between internal confidence metrics and actual operational readiness during a disruption.\n\n\n\nArchitect an integrated dependency framework that moves beyond basic contract management to map upstream and downstream processes and evaluate their criticality to your organization.\n\n\n\nNavigate regulatory requirements for business continuity\, resiliency\, and testing to maintain compliance and provide value to your organization.\n\n\n\n\nCPE credit(s): 1 CPE upon live viewing and participation. CPEs not offered on-demand. \n\n\n\nField of study: Management Services \n\n\n\nInstructional delivery method: Group Internet Based \n\n\n\nLevel: Basic \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: None \n\n\n\nAdvanced preparation: None  \n\n\n\n*Click here for more CPE information.

SUMMARY:Drive impact with AI: Practical first steps for business leaders
DESCRIPTION:Business leaders are actively exploring AI — but many struggle to decide where it fits\, what’s worth funding\, and what needs to be in place before scaling. Questions surface quickly: Which use cases improve planning accuracy or operational efficiency? What data gaps will limit results? Where does risk increase faster than value? \n\n\n\nThis webinar focuses on how business leaders are working through those questions today. Drawing on experience across private sector industries\, including manufacturing\, distribution\, construction\, healthcare\, and professional services\, our leaders will outline a practical approach to evaluating AI opportunities based on business impact and operational readiness\, not technical curiosity. \n\n\n\nRather than promoting a future-state vision\, this session helps leaders clarify what can be acted on now\, what needs further preparation\, and how to sequence AI investments over the coming weeks and months without creating downstream risk. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:\n\n\n\n\nIdentify practical entry points where AI can address real business problems.\n\n\n\nApply a business-driven framework to evaluate and prioritize AI use cases.\n\n\n\nRecognize the foundational data\, governance\, and operating capabilities that support responsible AI adoption.\n\n\n\nUnderstand common AI-related data and governance risks and considerations.\n\n\n\nOutline near-term considerations and next steps to advance AI initiatives within their organization.\n\n\n\n\nThis session is designed for private sector-operating environments. Public sector organizations should register for our public sector-focused AI webinar\, which addresses different governance structures\, funding models\, and decision constraints. \n\n\n\nFor more information regarding program cancellation policies\, please visit our webinar website or contact our offices at 248-352-2500. \n\n\n\nStaff wishing to express complaints regarding this training should contact the Learning Team at 248-223-3881. \n\n\n\nPlante & Moran\, PLLC\, is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors.

SUMMARY:Sales tax nexus & product taxability: Risks & compliance
DESCRIPTION:The Details\n\n\n\nSales tax nexus and product taxability rules continue to evolve as economic presence expands\, and business models and service offerings increasingly rely on digital platforms and delivery methods. Organizations must understand their obligations\, the rules for different product or service offerings\, and where risks may arise.  Join members of CohnReznick’s State and Local Tax team as they cover how nexus is defined today – including marketplace and digital considerations – and highlight common areas of exposure across industries\, especially as related to e-commerce\, digital products and services\, and historically nontaxable business services that states are starting to tax. Speakers will also touch on how sales and use tax can impact potential sales and other capital or financing transactions\, and where companies often run into trouble if issues are not addressed proactively before a deal.  \n\n\n\nAt the end of this session participants will be able to:  \n\n\n\n\nDistinguish how marketplace and digital business models affect obligations  \n\n\n\nEvaluate tax considerations for SaaS\, digital products\, and services\n\n\n\nRecognize potential risks in transactions and M&A activity  \n\n\n\nIdentify common pitfalls that may create compliance and audit exposure  \n\n\n\nDetermine nexus considerations for non-U.S. companies operating in the U.S. \n\n\n\n\nLive event participants can earn up to 1 CPE credit in the Taxes field of study.
