SUMMARY:Evaluating AP Automation: Manual\, External\, and Native
DESCRIPTION:NetSuite users run AP one of three ways: manually\, using third-party tools “connected” to NetSuite but operating separately\, or with an embedded solution inside NetSuite. Each option carries a cost; in hours\, in reclassifying entries\, and in audit exposure. \n\n\n\nJoin Joe Alie\, CFO @ Charted\, and Bernardo Enciso\, CEO @ Charted to evaluate your AP processes including: \n\n\n\nThe hidden costs: close delays\, correction entries\, and audit friction. \n\n\n\nHow to evaluate your current setup using your own data: where to look\, what to measure\, and what “good” looks like. \n\n\n\nThe critical questions to ask when evaluating AP solutions for NetSuite to avoid disconnected workflows that create operational complexity. \n\n\n\nWhat to test in AP demos: full segment coding\, multi-subsidiary transactions\, audit trails from approval to posting\, and vendor record updates. \n\n\n\n**CPE Eligible**  \n\n\n\nField of Study: Finance Level:  \n\n\n\nBasic Prerequisite: None  \n\n\n\nAdvance Preparation: None required  \n\n\n\nDelivery Method: Group Internet-Based  \n\n\n\nRecommended CPE Credit(s): 1 \n\n\n\nEvent Inquiries: For inquiries as well as complaints concerning this webinar\, you are welcome to send an e-mail message to neil@controllerscouncil.org \n\n\n\nPlease note that only those who attend the live webinar will have the opportunity to earn continuing professional education (CPE) credit in connection with this webinar.

SUMMARY:Donor‑Advised Funds: What Data Reveals — and What Charities Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Donor‑Advised Funds (DAFs) saw a sharp and much‑anticipated surge in late 2025\, driven in part by tax law changes under HR1. While much of the conversation focuses on dollars flowing into DAFs\, fewer insights exist on what happens next — where those funds ultimately land and what that means for nonprofits. \n\n\n\nDrawing on research compiled by Chariot\, a fintech company focused on DAF payments\, and K2D Strategies\, this session examines real‑world giving patterns and behaviors tied to DAF distributions. \n\n\n\nAttendees will gain practical\, mission‑focused insights to better engage donors who increasingly use DAFs as a preferred giving vehicle\, while also navigating the compliance and operational complexities that come with these gifts. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives\n\n\n\nAt the end of the session\, you will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify key trends shaping how and when charities are receiving DAF gifts\n\n\n\nDiscuss leading practices for tracking\, reconciling\, and properly acknowledging DAF contributions\n\n\n\nRecall well-established ideas to reduce donor friction and unlock additional giving through DAFs\n\n\n\nIdentify the critical compliance considerations every organization should understand when accepting DAF funding\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend\n\n\n\nThis session is designed for nonprofit finance\, advancement\, and compliance leaders seeking stronger controls and smoother processes for DAF gifts. \n\n\n\nQuestions?\n\n\n\nContact CLA’s meetings\, events\, and experience team at CLAevents@CLAconnect.com.

SUMMARY:The 4-Step Blueprint for Reducing Payment Fraud Risk
DESCRIPTION:Payment fraud is escalating and controllers are increasingly on the front lines. Fraudsters are exploiting weak vendor controls\, outdated payment workflows\, disconnected systems\, and manual processes to redirect payments\, manipulate supplier data\, and bypass traditional safeguards. At the same time\, new fraud monitoring expectations\, rising compliance pressure\, and increasingly sophisticated social engineering schemes are forcing controllers to rethink how they protect their organizations. The reality? Many finance departments are still relying on processes that were never designed to stop modern fraud. During this webinar\, our speakers will reveal a practical four-step framework controllers can use to reduce payment fraud exposure across the disbursement lifecycle. \n\n\n\n**CPE Eligible**  \n\n\n\nField of Study: Finance Level:  \n\n\n\nBasic Prerequisite: None  \n\n\n\nAdvance Preparation: None required  \n\n\n\nDelivery Method: Group Internet-Based  \n\n\n\nRecommended CPE Credit(s): 1 \n\n\n\nEvent Inquiries: For inquiries as well as complaints concerning this webinar\, you are welcome to send an e-mail message to neil@controllerscouncil.org \n\n\n\nPlease note that only those who attend the live webinar will have the opportunity to earn continuing professional education (CPE) credit in connection with this webinar.

SUMMARY:How to Deploy AI for Results: CFO and Controller Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:A recent survey of senior Finance\, Tax\, and Accounting executives confirms what many Controllers and CFOs already sense: 67% have AI pilots underway\, but only 6% report enterprise-wide maturity. The gap between experimentation and measurable outcomes isn’t a technology problem. It’s a data\, governance\, and organizational readiness problem — and it’s widening.  \n\n\n\nJoin a candid panel of peers featuring a CFO and Controller (TBA)\, and Prophix VP of Product Marketing Chris Porter for a practical conversation on how finance leaders are moving past the noise — and turning AI pilots into measurable results.  \n\n\n\nThe panel will tackle the questions like where does AI truly belong in the finance stack — inside your ERP\, your CPM platform\, or a standalone productivity tool? What separates AI that’s proven from new\, un-tested AI? And how do you build a path toward autonomous finance. \n\n\n\n**CPE Eligible**  \n\n\n\nField of Study: Finance Level:  \n\n\n\nBasic Prerequisite: None  \n\n\n\nAdvance Preparation: None required  \n\n\n\nDelivery Method: Group Internet-Based  \n\n\n\nRecommended CPE Credit(s): 1 \n\n\n\nEvent Inquiries: For inquiries as well as complaints concerning this webinar\, you are welcome to send an e-mail message to neil@controllerscouncil.org \n\n\n\nPlease note that only those who attend the live webinar will have the opportunity to earn continuing professional education (CPE) credit in connection with this webinar.

SUMMARY:Modernizing Finance Processes with AI: Building Auditability into AI-Enabled Workflows
DESCRIPTION:CFOs and Controllers are under increasing pressure to do more with less while delivering greater accuracy\, stronger controls\, and faster insights. As AI becomes more accessible\, finance leaders are evaluating where it can drive meaningful efficiencies without compromising governance\, transparency\, or auditability. \n\n\n\nJoin CFO Christine Gu\, and finance transformation leaders from Savant Labs and BDO as they discuss how organizations are moving beyond spreadsheet-driven and other end-user computing (EUC) processes toward standardized\, AI-enabled workflows that improve consistency\, accelerate execution\, and strengthen internal controls. You’ll learn how AI can support workflow development and automation while preserving human oversight\, accountability\, and the audit trail required for critical finance processes. \n\n\n\nField of Study: Finance Level:  \n\n\n\nBasic Prerequisite: None  \n\n\n\nAdvance Preparation: None required  \n\n\n\nDelivery Method: Group Internet-Based  \n\n\n\nRecommended CPE Credit(s): 1 \n\n\n\nEvent Inquiries: For inquiries as well as complaints concerning this webinar\, you are welcome to send an e-mail message to neil@controllerscouncil.org \n\n\n\nPlease note that only those who attend the live webinar will have the opportunity to earn continuing professional education (CPE) credit in connection with this webinar.

SUMMARY:Confidence in Numbers: Strengthening Visibility as Business Evolves
DESCRIPTION:Event Overview\n\n\n\nWhat felt like confidence in January may feel like concern today. Margins are harder to explain\, forecasts lose credibility as assumptions weaken\, and manual workarounds quietly replace the controls you thought were in place. \n\n\n\nThese aren’t failures — they’re signals that growth is outpacing your capabilities. As resources stretch and DIY reporting no longer meets expectations\, visibility declines and decisions slow when they need to accelerate. In this session\, we’ll move beyond identifying the problem and into what it takes to solve it. \n\n\n\nWe’ll explore how finance leaders are strengthening visibility by streamlining accounting operations and putting analytics to work\, replacing fragmented\, manual reporting with trusted KPI dashboards\, automating the close to surface margin insight faster\, and building disciplined\, driver-based forecasting models that leaders can actually act on. \n\n\n\nFor information regarding a complaint and/or program cancellation policies\, please contact Laura Schons \n\n\n\nReturn to Eide Bailly Website HERE. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo view the Eide Bailly Disclaimer click HERE.
