Summary

    Note: The Live Virtual course is presented in collaboration with CPABC. The content is applicable to all participants. If you have questions regarding this course, please contact pdregistration@cpaalberta.ca

    Overview: 

    Accountants spend most of their professional lives planning for one event or another: their career, their families, their taxes, and, of course, other peoples’ taxes. However, few professionals have thoroughly considered the aspect of estate planning and the tax implications associated with the various options or alternative courses of action that may be implemented. 

    This course provides a detailed review of important estate planning matters for practitioners or other professionals who deal with owner-managers or clients with high net worth.

    Specifically, you will gain enhanced estate planning skills, an introduction to important tax and estate planning concepts, useful tips, and an updated reference source. You will develop a working understanding of how to initiate and undertake effective estate planning for clients. The course emphasizes the maintenance of flexibility in the estate plan while managing estate planning risk.
