PYA is proud to introduce The Bottom Line, a quarterly webinar series designed to give finance and accounting leaders timely, practical insight on the issues affecting organizations right now. Each session will focus on current accounting and audit developments, emerging risk areas, and real-world considerations leaders can use to make more informed decisions.
“The Bottom Line: Standards Updates, Estimates, and the Growing Impact of AI”
