Is It Time to Plan for a Recovery?

Many in the financial markets are starting to warm up to the idea of an economic recovery.  What about senior financial executives?  What should they be considering today to prepare for a recovery if and when it comes in 2010?  That’s the focus of this AICPA audio-only Webcast.  This program is the eleventh in our year-long series.

During this live, audio-only program, we will discuss what senior financial executives might do including: 

• Re-instatement of base salary/incentives and renewed hiring plans
• Adjusting to a revised competitive landscape
• Understanding revised customer needs/demands and restarting your innovation efforts
• Considering new capital raising? Debt? Equity? Private equity?
• Improving valuation for the future
• Re-organization

These and other issues will be discussed during this FREE, LIVE AICPA audio-only Webcast.

On November 19th, 2009 the AICPA will present the eleventh in its FREE year-long Webcast series on helping organizations survive the current economic crisis.  Designed specifically for senior financial executives and their professional advisors, this series will specifically focus on those things that need to be “top of mind” in the office of the CFO in order to successfully navigate through 2009.
