SUMMARY:Crisis-Proofing Cash: A Framework for Corporate Liquidity Resiliency
DESCRIPTION:Cash resilience is ultimately measured by one question: can obligations be met when markets are under stress? This session examines how treasury and finance leaders can apply lessons from past market disruptions to evaluate the resilience of their current cash strategy. \n\n\n\nFrom the global financial crisis to the regional bank failures of 2023\, recent crises have demonstrated that not all cash instruments behave uniformly when liquidity tightens. This virtual panel discussion will introduce a practical framework for assessing counterparty exposures\, liquidity assumptions\, and structural risks\, as well as explore how direct ownership of U.S. Treasury bills can support operational continuity when markets shift. \n\n\n\nSession Learning Objectives: \n\n\n\n– Understand where stress-induced liquidity breakdowns most commonly occur across financial instruments and settlement processes– Examine the dynamics of corporate cash availability during a crisis– Learn how to effectively stress test cash strategies to prepare for market turbulence ahead \n\n\n\nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit.

SUMMARY:EMEA: Navigating the new risk landscape: AI\, governance\, and the path to maturity
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\n70% of risk leaders say the landscape is more complex than it was two years ago. With the rapid adoption of AI\, multiplying regulations\, and intensifying cyber threats\, risk teams are busier than ever. Investment and intent are at an all-time high\, yet true resilience remains elusive for many. This phenomenon is known as the “Middle Maturity Trap”: a state where organizations achieve high levels of activity — logging risks\, adopting controls\, and mapping frameworks — but lack the consistency and governance to turn that activity into foresight. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we unpack the findings from the inaugural 2025 Risk Intelligence Report. Based on proprietary telemetry from the AuditBoard platform and surveys of over 400 risk leaders\, this session will reveal why “surface compliance” is failing and how top-tier organizations are distinguishing themselves. We will explore the five critical dimensions of risk intelligence—from AI automation to cross-functional collaboration—and provide a strategic roadmap to help you move from reactive oversight to competitive advantage. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\nIdentify the “Middle Maturity Trap”: Recognize the signs of high-activity/low-consistency risk management and understand why “check-the-box” compliance no longer ensures resilience.\n\n\n\nBenchmark against the 5 dimensions of risk intelligence: Evaluate your organization’s maturity across the five critical pillars: AI & automation\, control maturity\, framework coverage\, collaboration\, and risk discipline.\n\n\n\nNavigate the “Frontline Test” of AI: Understand how leading enterprises are governing AI adoption to balance speed with trust\, avoiding the “pilot purgatory” that plagues less mature organizations.\n\n\n\nOperationalize connected risk: Learn specific strategies to break down silos between audit\, risk\, infosec\, and compliance\, creating a unified\, real-time view of risk.\n\n\n\nApply a 3-phase strategic roadmap: Walk away with a concrete plan to establish clear governance\, drive execution discipline\, and scale market leadership within your own 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: Information Technology \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:Crucial Trends for 2026: Credentialing\, Enrollment\, and the Cost of Inaction
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare organizations are entering the new year with mounting pressure on margins\, persistent staffing constraints\, and increasing urgency to bring providers online faster. Yet payer enrollment and credentialing remain some of the most manual\, fragmented workflows in the back office. \n\n\n\nAccording to Medallion’s 2026 State of Payer Enrollment and Medical Credentialing report\, credentialing and enrollment delays are now a top source of measurable revenue loss. Many hospital organizations now report more than $1M in annual revenue risk or delayed revenue\, driven by costly day-to-day setbacks when providers are unable to see patients. At the same time\, chronic staffing shortages\, inconsistent processes\, and limited workflow automation continue to constrain capacity and slow organizational growth. \n\n\n\nJoin this webinar to break down the latest findings and shares actionable strategies to streamline credentialing and enrollment workflows\, reduce manual rework\, strengthen visibility\, and accelerate revenue capture — while maintaining quality\, compliance\, and operational resilience. \n\n\n\nThis 60-minute webinar will provide you with the knowledge to: \n\n\n\n\nOutline the current challenges and trends across organization types in payer enrollment and medical credentialing\n\n\n\nAnalyze critical operational pain points based on data from over 500 healthcare organizations\n\n\n\nIdentify opportunities to leverage automation as a way to improve team efficiency and accelerate time to revenue\n\n\n\n\nBrought to you by Medallion \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTerms of registration: By registering for a complimentary sponsored educational webinar\, participants understand that their contact information\, excluding phone numbers\, will be shared with the specific sponsor.

SUMMARY:State Sales Tax Considerations for Not-for-Profits and 501(c) Entities
DESCRIPTION:While not-for-profit organizations and other 501(c) entities often enjoy sales tax exemptions when purchasing goods or services for their own use\, those exemptions typically do not extend to sales made to the public. As a result\, transactions like conferences\, educational programs\, digital learning platforms\, and fundraising merchandise sales may be subject to state sales tax. \n\n\n\nJoin CBIZ as we explore state sales tax rules for not-for-profit organizations and other 501(c) entities\, with a particular emphasis on sales made by charities\, educational organizations\, trade associations\, and others. \n\n\n\nWe will discuss how sales tax applies to these activities\, review potential exemptions for sales made to other not-for-profit or 501(c) entities\, and address compliance considerations. The session will provide practical advice on remediating past noncompliance and how to deal with ongoing sales tax compliance so your organization can minimize risk and meet its obligations moving forward. \n\n\n\nPresenters\n\n\n\nJohn Bonk\, Managing Director\, State & Local Tax ServicesAaron Fox\, Managing Director\, Not-for-Profit Tax ServicesZakariya Hussain\, Manager\, State & Local Tax Services

SUMMARY:Navigating the new risk landscape: AI\, governance\, and the path to maturity
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\n70% of risk leaders say the landscape is more complex than it was two years ago. With the rapid adoption of AI\, multiplying regulations\, and intensifying cyber threats\, risk teams are busier than ever. Investment and intent are at an all-time high\, yet true resilience remains elusive for many. This phenomenon is known as the “Middle Maturity Trap”: a state where organizations achieve high levels of activity — logging risks\, adopting controls\, and mapping frameworks — but lack the consistency and governance to turn that activity into foresight. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we unpack the findings from the inaugural 2025 Risk Intelligence Report. Based on proprietary telemetry from the AuditBoard platform and surveys of over 400 risk leaders\, this session will reveal why “surface compliance” is failing and how top-tier organizations are distinguishing themselves. We will explore the five critical dimensions of risk intelligence—from AI automation to cross-functional collaboration—and provide a strategic roadmap to help you move from reactive oversight to competitive advantage. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\nIdentify the “Middle Maturity Trap”: Recognize the signs of high-activity/low-consistency risk management and understand why “check-the-box” compliance no longer ensures resilience.\n\n\n\nBenchmark against the 5 dimensions of risk intelligence: Evaluate your organization’s maturity across the five critical pillars: AI & automation\, control maturity\, framework coverage\, collaboration\, and risk discipline.\n\n\n\nNavigate the “Frontline Test” of AI: Understand how leading enterprises are governing AI adoption to balance speed with trust\, avoiding the “pilot purgatory” that plagues less mature organizations.\n\n\n\nOperationalize connected risk: Learn specific strategies to break down silos between audit\, risk\, infosec\, and compliance\, creating a unified\, real-time view of risk.\n\n\n\nApply a 3-phase strategic roadmap: Walk away with a concrete plan to establish clear governance\, drive execution discipline\, and scale market leadership within your own 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: Information Technology \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:Operational Alignment Across Engineering and Manufacturing 
DESCRIPTION:Event details\n\n\n\nModern product organizations rely on four critical pillars – product life cycle management (PLM)\, enterprise resource planning (ERP)\, master resource planning (MRP)\, and engineering change management – but these functions often operate in silos. In this webinar\, Crowe specialists will discuss these interconnected pillars to show how product data\, production planning\, and controlled engineering change workflows form a unified operational ecosystem. \n\n\n\nWe will explore how integrated PLM-to-ERP processes lead to more accurate bills of material and routings\, how MRP extends ERP to inform precise material and production planning\, and how clear distinctions between engineering change notices (ECNs) and engineering change orders (ECOs) prevent disruptions\, waste\, and downstream confusion. \n\n\n\nParticipants can learn how to create connected data flows from engineering through manufacturing\, strengthen traceability\, and improve decision-making across the product life cycle. The session will highlight practical challenges\, real-world impacts\, and actionable strategies organizations can implement to reduce risk\, increase efficiency\, and enable scalable growth. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives\n\n\n\nAfter attending this session\, you should be able to: \n\n\n\n\nExplain how PLM-to-ERP integration creates a single source of truth across product\, engineering\, and operational teams\n\n\n\nDifferentiate between ECNs and ECOs and identify when each should be initiated in the change process\n\n\n\nDescribe how MRP complements ERP to improve material planning\, inventory control\, and production scheduling\n\n\n\nEvaluate operational risks caused by disconnected systems and unclear change processes across PLM\, ERP\, and MRP\n\n\n\nApply best practices to streamline engineering-to-production handoffs and reduce rework\, scrap\, and planning delays\n\n\n\n\nContinuing professional education\n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None \n\n\n\nProgram level: Overview \n\n\n\nAdvance preparation: None \n\n\n\nDelivery method: Webinar (group internet based) \n\n\n\nField of study: Information technology \n\n\n\nThis session is recommended for 1.0 hour of CPE credit. \n\n\n\nNote: All participants MUST be logged into the webinar INDIVIDUALLY to receive CPE credit. CPE credit will only be granted in the name of the individual logged into the LIVE presentation. Crowe is unable to grant CPE credit for groups viewing the webinar or for viewing on-demand recordings of the webinar. \n\n\n\nThere is no registration fee for participating in this webinar; therefore\, there is no cancellation fee. \n\n\n\nAdditional CPE information
