WORKSHOPS & CERTIFICATIONS Monday, November 8 FULL-DAY CERTIFICATION CLASSES Accounts Payable Certification – Manager Judy Bicking, Senior Trainer, IOFM This Certification class for those with AP Manager-level responsibilities will review best practices for leading an AP siloed function. Do more with less, and learn how to process more invoices with fewer people, inadequate automation technology, and misaligned operational functions. This course helps you overcome those barriers to success, enabling you to more effectively manage your team regardless of resource limitations.

Procure-to-Pay Certification – Manager Jess Scheer, Executive Editor, IOFM Designed for those Manager level and above, this Certification class will help you go from silo-thinking to better Procurement and AP alignment. Managing just your AP processes or just your Procurement processes is only half the battle. To truly operate as a best-in-class function, Procurement and AP must work together. This course is ideal for AP and Procurement Managers who want to improve their holistic P2P performance.

IRS Regulation Boot Camp includes CPRS Certification Marianne Couch, Cokala Tax Information Reporting Solutions, LLC With ever-changing federal legislative and regulatory requirements, any organization that is not knowledgeable and prepared to comply with complex regulations for Form 1099 tax information reporting of payments could face significant penalty assessments. The penalties and risks associated with noncompliance are onerous, and the burden is on you and your organization – not the IRS – to see that you are educated about regulatory updates. Ignorance of the law leaves you and your company exposed to costly penalties and legal fees.

Accurate payment reporting is a critical function in AP, and earning a certification in this area of Accounts Payable demonstrates to your employer that you are dedicated to achieving 100% compliance.

Employees who have earned the CPRS designation can play a key role in ensuring accurate reporting and avoidance of penalty tax assessments – improving the bottom line and increasing your value to the organization.

This Workshop addresses in detail the Form W-9 solicitation, backup withholding, tax deposit and Form 1099 reporting requirements. It also reviews the IRS B-Notice and Penalty Notice procedures and includes a brief overview of Form 1042-S withholding and reporting requirements for payments to foreign vendors.

Accounts Payable Certification – Specialist Designed for those below the Manager level, this course covers peer-tested best practices for all payment process phases – from receipt of invoice to processing and payment. Learn best practices to mitigate risks stemming from tax laws, as well as T&E-related fraud and abuse.

1:30PM – 4:30PM

The Essential Soft Skills of Leadership

Form 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC Basic Training

Nicole Caley, Founder and President – Payables Solution Partners, LLC

Katy Blackwell, Cokala Tax Information Reporting Solutions, LLC.

AP leaders are challenged in areas such as empathy, conflict management, creating trust, and inspiring their teams. And, if leaders weren’t challenged enough, in the blink of an eye, 2020 caused many of us to have to learn to manage remote teams with no training or preparation. In this workshop, we will focus on cultivating those soft skills and building a foundation that will benefit you both personally and professionally.

This half-day workshop provides updated essential information for the new 1099 reporting regime (used first for January 2021 reporting; now with additional changes for filing in January 2022) which requires Accounts Payable to report both the new Form 1099-NEC and the revised Form 1099-MISC. Also covers backup withholding required from certain payments (the focus of an IRS compliance campaign). *Workshops and Certifications require additional registration and cost.
