What They Are Saying
This was an eye- opening event for our firm. We went in thinking we were already performing CAS services, but realized we needed to dedicate resources directly to this area and not shared with tax and other staff.

Great experience! Learned a lot and was given a lot of tools. I will definitely recommend the CAS Roadmap Workshop to my colleagues.
