SUMMARY:AI readiness for public sector: Quick wins\, workforce considerations\, and guardrails
DESCRIPTION:Public sector leaders may recognize the potential of AI to modernize operations and improve constituent services\, yet many struggle to turn interest into meaningful results. As AI tools and expectations evolve faster than most organizations can plan\, leaders are left navigating fundamental questions: where to start\, how to move quickly without increasing risk\, and how to build trust while delivering real public value. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, our leaders will share a practical\, leadership-focused approach to moving from AI curiosity to action. The session focuses on identifying quick-win opportunities\, prioritizing use cases based on constituent and employee impact\, and understanding the data\, governance\, and workforce considerations required for responsible adoption. Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all roadmap\, this webinar provides clear frameworks\, real client examples\, and guiding questions to help public sector leaders make informed decisions today while setting a foundation for future progress. Attendees will leave with a clear “tomorrow plan” — immediate day-one actions to begin adopting AI thoughtfully\, balancing speed to value with transparency\, accountability\, and appropriate guardrails. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:\n\n\n\n\nIdentify common barriers that keep public sector organizations stuck in AI “interest” rather than execution.\n\n\n\nExplore and prioritize quick-win AI opportunities using constituent outcomes and repeatable use cases — before major investments.\n\n\n\nExplain leadership responsibilities for responsible AI adoption\, including transparency\, accountability\, and change management.\n\n\n\nRecognize workforce and labor considerations leaders should address early when introducing AI-enabled change.\n\n\n\nApply a set of practical “tomorrow actions” to assess readiness\, reduce risk\, and start a safe first wave.\n\n\n\n\nThis session is designed for public sector-operating environments. Private sector organizations should register for our commercial-focused AI webinar\, which addresses different governance structures\, operating 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:From AI to impact: What it takes to run an intelligent enterprise. We’ll explore what it takes to embed AI into how decisions get made\, build accountability that holds as autonomy scales\, and turn isolated wins into enterprise-wide performance.

SUMMARY:R&D Credits Hidden in Everyday Business
DESCRIPTION:Many companies leave money on the table because they assume R&D credits only apply to laboratories\, patents\, breakthrough inventions\, or formal research departments. \n\n\n\nIn reality\, qualifying work may be happening inside everyday business activity. It can show up when a company improves a product\, redesigns a process\, builds custom software\, tests materials\, develops prototypes\, resolves design failures\, or works through technical uncertainty. \n\n\n\nThe challenge is that many companies never get far enough to evaluate the credit. They hear “R&D” and immediately decide\, “That’s not us.” \n\n\n\nIn this session\, Bennett Thrasher Credits & Incentives Partner Nina Desai will explain how companies can identify potential R&D credit activity\, understand the four-part test\, recognize which costs may qualify\, and avoid common documentation gaps. \n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Learn: \n\n\n\n\nWhy companies often self-disqualify too early\n\n\n\nWhat R&D credit activity may look like in ordinary business operations\n\n\n\nHow the four-part test applies in plain English\n\n\n\nWhich activities generally do and do not qualify\n\n\n\nWhat expenses may be included\, including wages\, supplies\, contractors\, and certain cloud costs\n\n\n\nHow documentation can help support a defensible claim\n\n\n\nHow the payroll tax offset may benefit certain early-stage or growth companies\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend:\n\n\n\nAnyone who wants to better understand whether everyday problem-solving may support an R&D creditmation fits into your compliance process \n\n\n\nCFOs\, controllers\, and finance leaders \n\n\n\nTax directors and accounting professionals \n\n\n\nBusiness owners and executives at growing companies \n\n\n\nCompanies improving products\, processes\, software\, formulas\, or technical methods \n\n\n\nManufacturing\, software\, construction\, engineering\, food and beverage\, medical device\, distribution\, and technology companies \n\n\n\nEarly-stage or growth companies investing in technical development

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:GRC Tech Strategy and Enablement: Love It or Leave It?
DESCRIPTION:Event details\n\n\n\nWhen governance\, risk\, and compliance (GRC) technology investments fall short\, organizations struggle to realize value\, maintain adoption\, or keep pace with evolving risk and compliance needs.

SUMMARY:Preparing for New Off-Campus HOPD Requirements
DESCRIPTION:Significant regulatory changes are reshaping compliance expectations for hospital outpatient operations\, particularly for off-campus hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs). New provider-based attestation requirements under the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA 2026)\, combined with emerging commercial payer transparency initiatives\, are increasing the complexity of enrollment\, billing\, documentation\, and operational alignment for healthcare organizations. \n\n\n\nThis webcast will provide healthcare finance\, compliance\, revenue cycle\, and operational leaders with an overview of evolving requirements affecting off-campus HOPDs\, along with practical considerations for preparing organizations ahead of implementation deadlines. Participants will explore provider-based compliance requirements\, location-specific identification strategies\, billing implications\, and approaches for strengthening governance and operational readiness. \n\n\n\nAttendees will gain insight into common organizational gaps and discuss strategies to align compliance\, enrollment\, revenue cycle\, and operational processes to support future regulatory requirements. \n\n\n\nFor more information regarding administrative policies such as complaint and refund policies\, please email learning@bakertilly.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBaker Tilly is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors.

SUMMARY:The FP&A Tool Landscape in the AI Era
DESCRIPTION:The FP&A software market has never moved faster — or felt more overwhelming. Excel agents\, AI agent layers\, planning platforms\, large language models (LLMs)\, and “vibe coding” (building working applications by describing them to AI in plain language) are all arriving at once\, and it’s hard to know where to start. \n\n\n\nThis session cuts through the noise with a practical map of the marketplace and a clear-eyed look at what the AI shift actually means for finance teams. We’ll weigh the trends reshaping how finance works — vibe coding\, Excel agents\, and agentic AI — against the real risks that come with them: maintaining vibe-coded applications\, model errors\, ungoverned outputs\, and the illusion of accuracy at speed. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nMap the FP&A tool marketplace and build a framework for judging where each category fits your team\n\n\n\nEvaluate vibe coding\, Excel agents\, and agentic AI on both opportunity and risk\n\n\n\nDecide when to build your own AI intelligence layer versus buy software to manage it\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit.

SUMMARY:Rethinking the Physician Executive: How Role Design\, Compensation\, and Development Drive Recruitment and Retention
DESCRIPTION:As medical groups navigate mounting operational pressures\, shifting care models\, and intensifying competition for top clinical talent\, the demand for effective physician leaders continues to grow. Physician executives are being asked to drive strategy\, lead teams\, manage financial performance\, and engage their provider colleagues — often without clear authority\, adequate preparation\, or compensation models that reflect the scope of their contribution. The result is a growing misalignment between what organizations expect and what they have actually built. This gap is especially pronounced for physicians navigating the transition from clinical practice into executive roles. \n\n\n\nDrawing on national data and real-world experience\, panelists will examine how the needs of physician executives have evolved\, where organizations are falling short\, and what leading groups are doing differently across these key areas: role design\, dyad and triad leadership structures\, compensation models\, leadership development\, and recruitment and retention. If you are building or evaluating your leadership infrastructure\, this session offers practical\, actionable frameworks you can apply regardless of your organization’s size or stage. \n\n\n\nThis 60-minute webinar will provide you with the knowledge to: \n\n\n\n\nAssess the key components of physician executive role design — including scope of authority\, dyad and triad leadership structures\, and accountability models — and the gaps within your organization\n\n\n\nCompare your physician executive compensation approach against MGMA national benchmarks and identify opportunities to better align pay with the evolving scope of leadership responsibilities\n\n\n\nEvaluate factors that drive recruitment and retention challenges for physician executives\, including competency fit\, the clinician-to-executive transition\, and the role of leadership development in reducing misalignment and turnover\n\n\n\n\nBrought to you by Jackson Physician Search

SUMMARY:Margin Analysis: Turning Data Into a Program Strategy
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will provide a practical introduction to margin analysis for academic programs\, with a focus on how institutions can use data to inform strategic decision making and strengthen financial sustainability. Explore how revenue\, direct expenses\, and indirect costs interact at the program and course levels\, and how these dynamics can reveal efficiency opportunities and areas for targeted investment. Drawing on real-world higher education use cases\, this session will highlight how margin analysis can support more transparent\, consistent\, and mission-aligned program evaluation processes. \n\n\n\nThe session will also demonstrate how the Program Economic Analysis (PEA) tool from Forvis Mazars can be used to operationalize margin analysis through interactive dashboards and integration into program assessment processes. In addition\, see how PEA helps enable users to examine margins by program and course\, analyze enrollment and cost drivers\, and drill down into key performance indicators to identify actionable insights. By the end of the session\, participants will better understand how to “follow the data” and translate financial insights into academic and operational strategies. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\nUpon completion of this program\, participants should be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe the core components of academic program margin analysis\, including revenue\, direct costs\, and indirect expense allocation.\n\n\n\nUse margin analysis to identify high- and low-margin programs and understand key performance drivers.\n\n\n\nApply margin insights to inform strategic decisions related to program portfolio management\, resource allocation\, and operational improvements.\n\n\n\n\nCPE Information\n\n\n\n1.00 CPE Credit(s) (pending approval)\n\n\n\n1 CPE credit (pending approval) in the Specialized Knowledge field of study may be awarded upon verification of participant attendance\, during live broadcast. \n\n\n\nIf you have concerns or would like information regarding program cancellation policies or CPE credit\, contact us at cpecompliance@us.forvismazars.com.

SUMMARY:Leading Internal Audit in the AI Revolution
DESCRIPTION:About this Event:\n\n\n\nJoin the conversation redefining the auditor’s role in an AI-driven world\, where humans and intelligent agents collaborate for greater insight and impact. \n\n\n\nInternal audit is in a period of massive disruption\, fueled by the rapid advancement of Agentic AI. This is a fundamental shift in how auditors work (and there’s a lot to unpack). But there is also a lot of hype and unrealistic expectations. The future may be auditors orchestrating swarms of AI agents to perform audits. But that is still a few years out. This panel of technology experts will share what you can really do today with practical examples and realistic takeaways. (And maybe a little futuristic thinking as well.)  Hear from internal audit leaders about how to build the audit function of tomorrow while meeting the expectations of today. You’ll leave feeling empowered to take an active role in the AI transformation.   \n\n\n\nLearning objectives\n\n\n\nIn this session\, participants will: \n\n\n\n\nAnalyze the impact of AI on traditional internal audit practices and identify emerging roles for auditors in an agentic environment\n\n\n\nIdentify agentic and generative AI use cases in the internal audit process\n\n\n\nFormulate strategies for audit teams to effectively leverage AI technologies while maintaining a human-centered approach to internal audit  \n\n\n\n\nWorkiva offers one complementary CPE credit for this event.

SUMMARY:The New Reporting Reality: Skills and Structures Every Organization Needs Now
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\n\n\n(1 CPE) While financial and non-financial reporting requirements evolve\, the need to deliver clear\, reliable information across financial\, operational\, and sustainability domains has never been more important. But teams are still using the same organizational structures\, processes and tools they’ve always had\, which is making this work increasingly difficult and risky. Even without formal integrated reporting roles\, the responsibilities behind them are already landing on financial reporting\, SOX/compliance\, audit\, and sustainability teams who are facing the dual challenge of working through this new reality while also optimizing their teams\, processes and their technology. \n\n\n\nThis session brings together leaders across these functions to explore how the modern reporting roles are evolving and what skills professionals need to succeed in this interconnected environment. Panelists will discuss rising disclosure demands\, the convergence of financial and nonfinancial data\, and how AI and automation can reduce workload while strengthening reporting quality.  \n\n\n\nWhether you’re in SEC reporting\, internal audit\, sustainability\, or operations\, you’ll walk away with practical insight into how roles are shifting and how to prepare your team for what’s next. \n\n\n\nContact\n\n\n\nCommunity Manager \n\n\n\ninfo@progroups.org
