B02 - Nexus and Multistate Tax Issues (TX–2) Bob Baldwin, CPA, PFS, AEP and Ken Newhouse, CPA, CITP Baldwin & Associates and Moore, Beauston & Woodham LLP

When your company conducts business out of state, it can easily establish nexus. Nexus is the minimum connection or contact between a taxpayer and a state suffi-cient to subject the business to the taxing jurisdiction of that state. Although this is not always unfavorable, it does add significant burdens in terms of record keeping and filing requirements. Business income taxes and sales/use tax requirements imposed by another state can be significant and interest and penalties can be assessed for all pre-vious years back to the first year nexus was established. States do not use a standard tax system when imposing their taxes on business entities. Differences occur according to the type of tax imposed, the base on which the tax is assessed, the type of return required, which entities are included in the return, how receipts are divided among the states, and when returns are due. This session will help you better understand the requirements to ensure compliance.

B03 - Excel Guru's Toolbox (SK–2) Steven Phelan, CPA K2 Enterprises

Beyond PivotTables, which many users consider Excel's most powerful feature, it has many other great features and add-ins.

Examples include Fuzzy Lookup, Analysis ToolPak, ActiveData, Conditional Formatting, Evaluate Formula, Custom Views, the Camera, Slicers, Sparklines, top hot keys, and much more.

C02 - Federal and South Carolina State Tax Credits for Small Businesses (TX-2) Erik Doerring, EsquireMcNair Law Firm, PABusinesses, particularly small businesses, must be competitive to survive and grow in an ever-changing environment. Federal and S.C. state tax credits exist offering a variety of incentives and tax subsidies to small businesses to induce them to add or maintain employment, to grow investment, to operate in particular geographic areas, and to encourage other conduct. The CPA must be aware of these incentives to properly advise his or her clients in order to reduce the client's otherwise applicable federal and state tax burden. The CPA should assume that the client's competitors are aware of these tax credits and subsidies, and if the CPA is also not aware of these incentives the CPA advises the client at his or her peril.

C04 - Integrated Reporting (SK-2) Ricky CroninInternational Integrated Reporting CouncilIntegrated Reporting <IR> is a process that results in communication by an organization, most visibly a periodic integrated report, about value creation over time. An integrated report is a concise communication about how an organization’s strategy, governance, performance and prospects, in the context of its external environment, lead to the creation of value over the short, medium and long term. Over 100 global businesses and 50 institutional investors are directly involved in the IIRC’s work. This includes some of the world’s most iconic brands, such as Coca-Cola, Clorox, Microsoft, Hyundai, Tata, Unilever, Marks and Spencer, SAP and National Australia Bank. The business and investor benefits of <IR> are compelling. The empirical evidence from the IIRC Pilot Program shows that <IR> enables the articulation of strategy and how the business is creating value over time.

G01- Importance of Quality Control to Avoid Legal Troubles (AP-2)Fred Crawford, Esquire and Tony Rebello, EsquireRichardson Plowden & Robinson, PAIn the context of the professional accounting firm, risk is not a new concept for practi-tioners. It has been attached to the profession for as long as accountants have offered services in a commercial setting. However, as the number and size of legal claims against professional public accountants has increased over the years, so too has the issue of risk and risk management also increased in importance. Ultimately, it is the partners of the accounting firm that will bear the ultimate responsibility for the firm’s risk management framework. So it is this group (or person if solely owned) that must take the lead in estab-lishing and maintaining a risk management framework, as with periodic evaluation of its design and effectiveness.

G02 - Effects of Obama Administration On Employers...Your Employment-Related Risks and How to Prevent Liability (PE-2) Kristen Cato, EsquireRogers Townsend & ThomasThere has been a tremendous effort to expand employee rights with the current admin-istration, much more than what has been typical over the last 20 years.

We will also discuss the National Labor Relations Board and its efforts in unionizing America.

G03-HowtoCreatetheVirtualOffice(SA-2)Steven Phelan, CPAK2 EnterprisesWhat does it take to move your office to the Cloud?

In this session, you will learn not only what it takes to get the job done, but also observe live demonstrations of setting up Cloud-based servers and desktops. Relax - it is much easier than it sounds!

G04 - Effective Change Management (BM-2) Don Minges, MBAExecutive EducationResearch shows that far too many change initiatives fail to launch properly or endure because their leaders do not understand the psychological basics of human response to change. Inept change management techniques can cause long-lasting damage or unintended consequences for individuals or organizations. If you have ever observed the negative results of participating in a failed change initiative that logically should have been an easy dunk -- or want to avoid an unnecessarily bad experience -- this session may open your eyes to new awareness and tools for effective change leadership.

H02 - Nonproft Tax Issues (TX-2) Doug Snyder, CPADoug Snyder, CPANonprofit organizations are generally tax free. However, there are many limitations to tax-exempt status, and operating an organization outside those limitations can result in taxation. The most common problem areas for nonprofit entities are political activities, unrelated business and disclosures to the public. Attend this session learn more about pro-tecting your client’s non-profit status by understanding key schedules and make adjust-ments required by 2013 IRS revisions.

H03 - Tech Update 2013 (SK-2) Steven Phelan, CPAK2 EnterprisesIn 2013, hardware technologies will settle down while the effects of software changes, Windows 8 and Office 2013, will begin to have an impact on organizations of all sizes. This, coupled with trends in the Cloud, security, and other evolving technologies, means the overall pace of change will continue full throttle. Stay up to date on the technologies that will affect busy professionals in 2013 by participating in this fast-paced and highly informa-tive cornerstone session.

H04 - Creating the Best Projections You Can (FI-2) Don Minges, MBAExecutive EducationAll we really know is the past but all that really matters is the future. How can you take the historical knowledge you have about your company, its performance, your competitors, your industry and the economy to help your company plan for the future?
