Time's Up! CPEasy Helps Accounting Professionals Defeat Approaching CPE Deadlines

New 2011-2012 Catalog Offers Convenient Study Formats, Dozens of New Courses and Valuable 40th Anniversary Savings

TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 25, 2011 — Accountants facing CPE reporting deadlines can breathe easier with the release of the new CPEasy fall catalog. Across the country, many State Boards mandate that 2011 CPE credits be reported by December 31st. And while time may be almost up, Bisk Education's CPEasy product line makes completing these requirements quick and convenient by providing thousands of credit hours, hundreds of courses and the widest variety of formats available. As America's best-selling CPE provider since 1971, CPEasy is also providing exclusive 40th Anniversary offers, providing serious savings and value to CPAs.

CPEasy's ongoing dedication to innovation and an unwavering commitment to customers have kept accounting professionals coming back for years. CPAs can choose from group-study, self-study or live offerings, with courses available via textbook, DVD, online or even on-the-go with a handheld mobile device. In addition, CPEasy's popular "one stop shop" approach holds particular appeal; it provides instant grading, instant certificates and easy access to timely courses, with new courses being added almost every day. This year's catalog is no exception. A quick look of the latest edition reveals dozens of new CPE courses in today's most pressing topics, from ethics to auditing, taxation to consulting.

"At CPEasy, we understand that there's a lot of pressure to meet those end-of-year deadlines, and fitting CPE into an already hectic schedule can be stressful," said Valerie Wendt, Product Manager. "That's why we've always made obtaining credits quick, easy and convenient. This year, in celebration of our 40-year anniversary, we're also making it even more affordable, with 40% off any individual course purchase made via our website. It's our way of saying thank you to CPAs everywhere."

But that's not the only way customers can save. Bisk CPEasy also offers unlimited online CPE through its popular OnDemand™ Platinum, Gold and Silver packages, and for a limited time, new and existing customers can receive a free features upgrade. Depending on subscription level, these upgrades – a value of more than $300 – may include additional monthly news reports or extra webcast series events. Both feature discussions on today's most critical topics, led by the industry's most knowledgeable experts – and they're delivered directly to the computer desktop.

All CPEasy programs are NASBA- and QAS-approved, and allow professionals to earn anywhere from 1 to 40 credit hours per course. Individuals and firms can learn more about CPEasy's offerings – including course descriptions, credit hours, available formats and prices, plus special discounts and free trial offers – in Bisk's 2011-2012 CPEasy catalog.
