Introducing a tool to foster essential leadership conversations in your firm
CPA.com and Succession Institute
CAS Firm Self-Assessment Tool
Aligning your CAS Practice with best practices
CPA.com has partnered with Succession Institute to create a CAS firm self-assessment tool designed to help you align to CAS Best Practices, launching in January 2021.
Broken into categories, the tool looks at key areas and common practices within a firm that can easily, depending on how those issues are being addressed, promote success or create obstacles for the CAS Practice and its leadership.
This tool will give you a snapshot of how key CAS practice stakeholders assess the current health, direction, and processes of the practice. Join creators Bill Reeb and Tommye Barie as they discuss the ways that firms can use this self-assessment to foster essential conversations that can quickly impact your firm’s trajectory for growth, profitability and future success of your CAS Practice and the clients you serve.
