Introduction to value creation: Opportunities for CPAs

Join us to gain a deeper understanding of why value creation is important to CPAs and CPA Canada’s work in this area. Learn about insights from the work completed to date and what’s coming next.

In today’s economy, CPAs need to apply skills to support forward-looking decisions that create more value for their organization and stakeholders. Join us as we discuss what is meant by “value creation,” why CPAs should take a leadership role in this space, and what resources are available to help you succeed.

We will also discuss the role of data in value creation in the emerging digital economy and how CPAs can help measure the future value of investments in data, make effective management decisions about data and IP, and leverage resources to support their organization’s strategy.

Whether in the private, not-for-profit, or public sectors, CPAs will increasingly have a role and must use their foundational proficiencies in business expertise, judgment, skepticism, analysis and systems to help answer the question: What is data worth? As part of this webinar, we will also explore potential roles for CPAs in valuing data and some of the influential perspectives presented in the recently issued paper, “What is Your Data Worth: Insights for CPAs.”
