SUMMARY:(LITE11/26) Cybersecurity Essentials
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\n \nIn today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape\, the strength of an organization’s cybersecurity measures is not just in its technology\, but in the awareness and vigilance of its workforce. Cybersecurity threats are becoming more sophisticated\, making it crucial for every employee to be equipped with the knowledge and skills to protect sensitive information and assets.\nIn this session\, we’ll walk through the essential building blocks of a strong cybersecurity foundation — from the types of safeguards organizations rely on\, to the role of continuous oversight and human monitoring\, to the everyday actions that either reduce or increase risk. The focus is not on technical jargon or specific products\, but on understanding how these layers work together to provide meaningful protection.\nBy the end of this discussion\, you should have a clearer picture of what effective cybersecurity looks like in today’s market\, why people and process matter just as much as tools\, and how each individual contributes to keeping the organization secure.\n \nObjectives\nTo equip CPAs with a practical\, non-technical understanding of cybersecurity risks\, including how incidents occur\, their impact on financial and operational integrity\, and the role leadership plays in risk awareness\, preparedness\, and response.

SUMMARY:(LITX75/26) Upstream Basis Planning
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\n \nUpstream basis planning allows families to secure a stepped-up basis without triggering estate tax by strategically using a senior family member’s remaining exemption and life expectancy.
