New Era For Financial Preparation Services Driven By Major Standard Change

The recently released SSARS21 Standard creates a bright line between preparing and reporting services, and is potentially the most significant non audit standard change of the past 30 years. This new standard will dramatically change how firms provide Client Accounting and BPO services, and is something many in the profession have been requesting for years.

In this webcast we review how firms can advance their client accounting services based on this new standard. Firms will need to change how they describe and market their client accounting services, engage with clients, as well as deliver these services.

Ubuntu has yet to implement it, and few other Linux distros have put the new update into play. Thus, the latest Xfce desktop is considered "experimental." However, it is a fully functional upgrade.
