Nperspective in the Marketplace
Each month we provide what we believe to be useful information to our readers to help them understand opportunities that exist in the marketplace. While many of these perspectives have been developed through our years of experience or our work with our clients, we also further develop our knowledge base through our participation in many organizations and events throughout each year.
In recent months, we have had the opportunity to sponsor and/or participate in the following:
ORGANIZATIONS
- Orlando partner Debbie Adkins continues her involvement with multiple organizations/associations, including her volunteer work as one of 20 members of the FASB Small Business Advisory Committee (SBAC). This role is an opportunity for all of our referral partners and business owners to provide feedback to the FASB on accounting pronouncements. Please take advantage of this local resource. Also, Debbie was the Chair of the FEI 2012 National Summit Conference held in Orlando in May 2012. In addition, she is working with FEI's national groups on helping COSO modernize its 1992 Internal Control Framework and as well as working on Private Company Standards.
- Tampa principal Maryann Carlton has joined the Tampa Bay NDIA's (National Defense Industry Association) committee for sponsorship. For people who are involved with the defense industry and are interested in learning more about how involvement/sponsorship of this organization will help their businesses grow, please reach out to Maryann at mcarlton@npcfo.com.
