Internship Applications/Deadlines

Wed, 13 Sep 2017 07:00:00 GMT

Hello Everyone!

For the websites Handshake and Nevada careers, you will have to create an account before you can apply (although it does not take long at all). For deadlines that say N/A, their deadline was not able to be found, so turn in those sooner rather than later.

Last Weekly Email Spring 2017

Wed, 03 May 2017 03:20:54 GMT

Hello Everyone,

This is sadly the last weekly email I will be sending you all. Please read it, and I hope you made hours this semester because you will be considered a candidate next semester if you don't.

Social:

Please do not forget that the bowling social is Tomorrow, starting at 9pm at the GSR! If you would like to come, please RSVP at the following link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/gsr-bowling-social-tickets-33673815288
This will be free for those who attend, and appetizers will be provided while we bowl as long as at least half of the members that sign up are not current officers! If you need a ride to the social, please email me so that you are able to attend. This will be a fun way to end the year and get to know other members in BAP. Although it is a fun event, don't forget that it is a great networking opportunity to meet people who may be associated with firms that you are interested in!

President:

FINAL MEMBER MEETING will be this Wednesday at 12:00 in AB 101.

Reporter:

Everyone needs 400 minutes of professional and community service activities. Anyone who fails to meet this requirement will have to pay the candidate fee next semester, and will have to attend an info session. Check zetiota.org to make sure you have met your hours.

Public Relations:

CPA day will be on Wednesday, May 10. Attached is the flyer, and the link to RSVP.

If you are interested in annual meeting, the deadline to let me know is Wednesday May 10.

Best Regards,

There are many events to choose from, so if you are low on hours this is an easy option to make your hours this semester.

Whoever wants sashes needs to email Jeff at renobappresident@gmail.com and give Professor Vreeland $15.
Final Member Meeting will be May 3rd at Noon.

No Notice, No Fee, No Escape

Currently firms register in the states in which they provide services. Similarly CPAs obtain a state specific license. Traditionally this provided accountability and confidence that the services provided were in accordance with specific state laws.
The changing landscape and environment are challenging these traditional practices and the lines dividing states that restrict which firm or CPA can provide services and where are beginning to fade.
The AICPA and NASBA have been developing what is known as the Uniform Accountancy Act (NRS 628.335 for Nevada) which would allow firms and CPAs to cross these lines and provide services in states in which they are not registered or licensed.
Currently cloud services allow for the technologically capable firm and business to communicate, provide supporting materials and documentation entirely through an internet connection without physically making a presence on-site. This is the business world trying to keep up with all the tools and resources technology is providing.
What will this mean for the future of the Accounting professional?
It might be worth a young professionals time to consider where the profession will be in the next decade and decide how best to prepare.

This semester is full of opportunities to connect with accounting professionals. Professional lunches, Spring Banquet, Firm tours and Socials

Starting conversations cold can be troubling for some.
Here's something to talk about as well as a way to demonstrate awareness of accounting topics:

FASB ASC 605 Revenue Recognition proposal.

Look it up, learn something and impress those firms with your knowledge of the FASB.
