Methodology for Selecting a Methodology
June 8, 2026 | 8:00 AM – 11:30 AM PST | Featuring Tricia Katebini, CPA
Selecting the right audit methodology is high-stakes, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Join a practitioner-led panel where senior leaders share candid, real-world experiences—not vendor pitches. Each panelist has chosen a different methodology or vendor, providing diverse insights across firm sizes and solutions. Learn practical tools, key considerations beyond cost, ROI insights, and essential stakeholder strategies. Leave with actionable questions for vendors and a framework to define your firm’s unique needs. Ideal for any firm with an audit department, whether exploring options or ready to make a change.
Tech First, Process Next: The Smart Way to Scale
June 11, 2026 | 1:15 PM – 2:30 PM PST | Featuring Elinor Litwack, CPA
As you evaluate new technology to support service lines, firms often struggle with a fundamental question: should they refine their processes first or implement technology to drive efficiency? In this session, you will learn insights and hear experiences on balancing process optimization with technology adoption, focused on areas like CAS where technology is foundational to the service. Attendees will learn how to align their firm’s workflows and tech stack to maximize productivity, improve client outcomes, and avoid common pitfalls, such as implementing technology designed for one service firm-wide. This session will provide a roadmap for firms looking to integrate technology and process seamlessly for long-term success.
