    Join NCSA for the new Twilight Knowlege Series!

    The Twilight Knowledge Series (TKS) will be hosting a roundtable discussion on tax situations. Bring your problem children and go over them with other tax preparers for solutions and ideas.

    We will also be having a discussion on the NCSA 2026-2027 education programs. We really need your input as to what educational programs you would like. This is your society not just the Education Teams society. Is there an area that you may be less educated in than another and need more education? An area you are not as comfortable with? That is exactly what we need to know. Let’s us help you.

    This meeting is free to all members. Please register at www.ncsa1947.org.

    Advisors’ Edge: Unlocking Employee Ownership for Your Clients

    Discover how employee ownership can be a transformative business exit strategy for your clients. Advisors’ Edge: Unlocking Employee Ownership for Your Clients is a free training program brought to you by the North Carolina Employee Ownership Center (NCEOC), in collaboration with Project Equity. This course equips trusted advisors with the tools and insights needed to guide their clients through a transition to employee ownership.

    Attendees will earn CE credit (1 hour for NASBA and CFP, 1 hour for EPI-CEPA and BEI), enhancing their professional expertise while learning about:

    • The fundamentals of employee ownership structures, including Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), Worker Cooperatives, and Employee Owned Trusts (EOTs)
    • The financial and tax benefits of employee ownership.
    • Which model works for a particular business size and for the business owner's goals (as few as 4 employees!)

    Did you know that employees do not contribute out of pocket and transactions are completed through loans and at market rates after an independent valuation? An owner can choose a partial sale or a full sale and may choose to exit or remain in the business after the sale.

    Empower your clients to build enduring legacies, retain jobs in their communities, and unlock new possibilities for their businesses—all while elevating your practice with actionable, accredited knowledge.

    Embracing AI for Tax & Accounting Pros

    1 Hour CE Federal Tax Webinar

    Rebecca Driscoll

    September 3, 2026, Noon-1 p.m.

    Program Description             

    Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how tax and accounting professionals research, prepare, review, and advise. This program gives practitioners a practical, vendor-neutral foundation for understanding and responsibly adopting AI tools in a tax and accounting practice. Participants will explore what generative AI and machine learning are, how these technologies work at a conceptual level, and where they add measurable value across the engagement lifecycle — from client intake and document handling to tax research, workpaper preparation, and client communication.

    Through guided examples and real-world scenarios drawn from everyday practice, instructors Rebecca Driscoll and Charlie Barmore of The AI Lab for Accountants demonstrate how professionals can use AI to streamline routine workflows, improve accuracy, and free up time for higher-value advisory work. Equal attention is given to the risks and professional responsibilities that accompany these tools, including data privacy and client confidentiality, accuracy and verification of AI-generated output, bias and reliability limitations, and the ethical and due-diligence standards that continue to govern the practitioner regardless of the technology used. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped to evaluate AI tools critically and integrate them into their practice in a manner consistent with professional standards.

    Learning Objectives

    Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:

    • Describe the core concepts behind generative AI and machine learning as they apply to tax and accounting work.
    • Identify practical, high-value use cases for AI across the tax and accounting engagement lifecycle.
    • Recognize the limitations and risks of AI tools, including accuracy, confidentiality, data security, and bias concerns.
    • Apply appropriate verification and review procedures to AI-generated work product.
    • Evaluate AI tools against relevant professional responsibility and due-diligence obligations.
