| Available Formats: | Paperback | See All |
To help victims of natural and man-made disasters recover financially from loss, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) have developed a consumer resource booklet entitled Disaster Recovery: A Guide to Financial Issues.
This guide is a resource for anyone who may feel overwhelmed by the financial issues surrounding a natural or man-made disaster. Additionally, CPAs can work hand-in-hand with disaster recovery professionals to assist the public by guiding them through financial decisions they must address.
This booklet may also be viewed in its entirety at the American Red Cross website by clicking here.
In it, you'll find suggestions on steps to take immediately following a disaster, what to do in the initial weeks and months, and how to begin planning for the future. Specifically, the following topics are covered:
