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. State boards of accountancy have final authority on the acceptance of individual courses for CPE credit.

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.

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

SUMMARY:Governing the Deal: Board Oversight Across the M&A Lifecycle
DESCRIPTION:Boards play a pivotal role in shaping transaction strategy and outcomes\, but effective oversight looks very different from management execution.  From strategic alignment and target identification to deal terms\, decision skepticism and discipline\, risk identification\, and post close integration\, boards must govern the entire transaction lifecycle\, not just the deal approval. \n\n\n\nThis session examines the board’s governance responsibilities across M&A strategy formulation and target identification through diligence\, negotiation\, approval\, and integration oversight. We will clearly distinguish management’s role in execution from the board’s role to challenge\, oversee\, and maintain accountability\, and explore how boards can govern effectively under tight timelines and incomplete or changing information.  \n\n\n\nWe’ll also address common process breakdowns (and how boards can prevent them)\, leading practices for documentation and communications\, and what “good oversight” looks like across buy-side and sell-side transactions. \n\n\n\nThe session also addresses the external support boards rely on—including financial\, legal\, regulatory\, and risk advisors—and how directors’ engagement can protect independence\, manage conflicts\, and support high quality decisions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n\nExplain the board’s oversight role across the M&A lifecycle—from strategy and target selection through diligence\, approval\, and post close integration—distinct from management execution.\n\n\n\nIdentify the critical questions boards should ask management and advisors to test strategic rationale\, value creation\, risk exposure\, and execution readiness under tight timelines.\n\n\n\nRecognize governance and risk considerations that can materially affect deal outcomes\, including conflicts of interest\, disclosure and communications\, cyber and data risk and synergies\, regulatory scrutiny\, and culture and talent issues.\n\n\n\nApply leading practices for overseeing advisors\, strengthening decision discipline\, and governing post close integration through clear accountability\, documentation\, and KPI based oversight.\n\n\n\n\nCPE Information\n\n\n\nDelivery: Group Internet Based \n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None \n\n\n\nAdvanced Prep: None \n\n\n\nProgram Level: Basic \n\n\n\nCost: There is no fee to attend this session \n\n\n\nInformation about CPE Eligibility\n\n\n\nTo receive CPE credit for participation in a BDO webcast program\, you must respond to the occasional polls that appear throughout the program and be in attendance for a minimum of 50 minutes.
