City of Dunwoody Hosts Inaugural Accounting Conference

The City of Dunwoody kicked off its inaugural Accounting Conference Monday, welcoming more than 170 accountants from all over the Southeast to Dunwoody City Hall.

The conference runs from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day through Friday, June 10, and will cover topics including best practices, occupational tax law, and capital assets.

The conference will promote professional development and the growth of analytical expertise in strategic planning, market analysis, compliance, change management and the use of information technology. In today’s challenging economy, these skills are required by companies, institutions and governments, all sectors where accountants are employed.

“I set out to find a way to provide local government accountants with the training we desperately need without incurring the costs often associated with continuing education,” said Chris Pike, Finance Director.

Featured presenters include Robin C. Bishop, Endgame Consulting; Joel Black, Mauldin & Jenkins; Carrie Brown, Sky Design; Sabrina Cape, Capable Financial Solutions; Randall D. Grayson, Grayson Law Group; Beth Grimes, BatesCarter; Jeff Magee, Western CPE; and Chris Pike, City of Dunwoody.
