Welcome to our second quarterly edition of What Counts, the on-line newsletter of the Rhode Island Society of CPAs. In this issue, you can read about the challenges facing CPAs who work with communities as a result of the Caruolo Act.  We also have features about a small local firm's innovative approach to internal cross-training, a Q&A with Rhode Island CPA Jack Renza, and much more.

See the e-news stories and much more on the What Counts website, www.what-counts.org.
