Health care is a uniquely challenging industry for finance professionals. Local, state, and federal legislative priorities are constantly evolving; new developments in technology have the potential to fundamentally reshape the way the industry works; and mergers, acquisitions, and new partnerships between major providers and hospitals are changing the competitive landscape of the business.
The only constant in health care is change itself. The Florida Institute of CPAs’ annual Health Care Industry Conference, held this year from April 19-20 in Orlando (and online via simulcast), will help you navigate the twists and turns ahead.
A Dynamic Event for Florida’s Health Care & Finance Professionals
The FICPA is the leading voice for Florida’s CPAs and accounting and finance professionals. As our only conference focused exclusively on health care, the Health Care Industry Conference is a valuable opportunity to learn about the critical issues shaping the industry from an accounting and finance perspective. We bring together hundreds of health care professionals from across the state and beyond to share news, knowledge, products, and services.
We are proud to enjoy the support of this year’s lead sponsors: RSM U.S., LLP, South Florida Hospital News and Healthcare Report, and Vaco.
The 2018 Health Care Industry Conference is endorsed by the Florida Hospital Association and the Florida chapter of the Healthcare Financial Management Association.
“I’m pleased to once again lend my support to The Health Care Industry Conference and work with all of the FICPA members, sponsors, and vendors to make this event happen,” said Carlos Hernandez, Partner at RSM U.S., LLP and Chair of the Health Care Conference Committee.Experts You Trust on the Issues that Matter
The FICPA designed the Health Care Industry Conference to be relevant and meaningful to today’s professionals. All of our instructors and speakers are hand-picked to best address the topics that health care professionals care about.
Government is often where healthcare issues and the public interest intersect, and this year’s conference will offer attendees the chance to explore that relationship more deeply. The conference will feature public policy experts from Washington, D.C. to help you make sense of the updates to laws that impact the health care sector. As state and federal legislators consider the medical and legal implications of expanding access to medicinal marijuana, we’ll have leading experts on hand to discuss the intricacies of the debate – and what it means for you and your clients. And in the wake of horrific shootings at the Pulse nightclub in 2016, we’re inviting local Orlando health officials to discuss what they’ve learned from the experience and how it might affect crisis response tactics from health departments across the state.
Finance professionals in the health care industry are no doubt familiar with recent changes to revenue recognition standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Our conference will provide a deep dive into the topic, giving you the latest insights into why and how the new guidances matter to you.
And if you’re new to the health care industry, we have a specially-designed conference track for young CPAs and those just entering the field. Earn up to 17 CPE credit hours and get up to speed.
