MBAexpress: Project Management - V 2.0
Overview:
Project management is a results-focused concept that needs to be in the accountants' toolbox. For CPAs in public accounting, every engagement, tax return audit and SOC report is a project. For CPAs in finance, your month in close, and fraud and risk assessment are projects. This course will discuss the project management process from building a business case and planning, to execution and managing your team.
