Surgent’s Weekly Expert Hour: Special 2-Hour Edition – House Version of Tax Reform
Available Until Apr. 30, 2027
Online
2.00 Credits
Member Price: $89
The House of Representatives passed a version of President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" on May 22, 2025. It contains significant tax law changes and a permanent enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). These changes must still go through the Senate, and eventually both bodies have to agree on identical versions of the same tax reform provisions. Our program will examine the new changes enacted by the House, and our panel will discuss the TCJA provisions that may become law. These topics have not yet been enacted into law, but we believe many of them will be once they have gone through the Senate. Practitioners who attend this program will learn about all of these new proposed changes, most of which we believe will be enacted shortly. Many of them will be effective in 2025.

Surgent's Why People Quit: A Look at Accounting and Other Professionals
Available Until Apr. 30, 2027

Member Price: $49
Employee turnover has always been expensive, and experts warn that the cost of employee attrition keeps rising. Tight labor markets, a strong economy, and increasingly collaborative jobs are just some of the explanations given for the high price of losing employees. While some of these "macro" factors are beyond an employer's control, there is substantial research showing practices employers can implement that encourage employees to remain and grow with an organization. So, why do people quit? It is commonly thought that employees often leave their jobs because they do not like their boss, they perceive low opportunities for growth, or they are offered a better opportunity somewhere else. However, new research reveals that what really affects career decisions are employees' sense of how they are doing compared to their peers or where these individuals thought they would be at a certain point in life. This course provides an overview of how to improve employee retention. Whether you are a sole practitioner with one or two employees or part of a much larger organization, this course will be valuable to you.Delivery Method: On-Demand WebcastCPE Credit: Personnel/Human Resources (1)Program Level: OverviewThis course is being offered by a learning partner.
