Due to the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, the MSCPA has made the difficult decision to make our Accounting and Auditing Conference a virtual-only event. The conference will still take place on June 3 from 7:50 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., and participants will receive eight CPE credits. You will also learn from the same quality speakers that you expected to see at our live program.
Please reach out to Katlyn Ribeiro at 617.303.2404 or kribeiro@mscpaonline.org if you have any questions.
