The Greater Orlando Chapter of the National Association of Black Accountants is set to host its annual Accounting Careers Awareness Program at the University of Central Florida from July 12-17.
The Accounting Careers Awareness Program raises awareness of accounting career opportunities among high school students from underrepresented ethnic groups. The one-week residency program has students take up residence on the UCF campus, connect with university professors, administrators and local businesses, and participate in developmental seminars. Students deliver a group presentation at the end of the week to showcase what they have learned.

The 10-second rule | Accounting Today
A new client of ours — a very nice couple — came to see me the other day. I thought the meeting was going well, but 15 minutes in, the husband interrupted and asked, "Can we please pause this meeting?"
When I asked him why he wanted to stop the meeting, he said, "You keep saying 'Right?' at the end of your sentences. It sounds like you're asking us a question, but you answer it before we can respond. Are you actually asking us if we understand?"
That was tough to hear, but my client was right. Even worse, I started wondering how many clients had been sitting through my rambling without bothering to say anything to me. I walked away from the meeting realizing that I had to do a much better job of facilitating two-way conversations with clients. That's when I decided to implement the "10 Second Rule."

To an extent, the two states are following the lead of a number of European countries that have already enacted or are planning to enact such a tax. Like their counterparts in Europe, they target U.S. tech companies that receive revenue from digital advertising.
