Metzler leads AICPA initiatives, including the activities of the Private Companies and Private Section and the institute’s specialization accreditations.

Following lunch, nine breakout sessions will address such issues as tax planning, MS Office for accountants, managerial/cost accounting, auditing, business tax and sales tax holiday, sales tax and streamlined sales tax, Government Accounting Standards Board and Financial Accounting Standards Board updates, and the annual “Employment Law Update.”
