“It’s good to learn from your mistakes. It’s better to learn from other people’s mistakes” – Warren Buffett
One of CPA Alberta’s longest running, non-technical seminars is Practical Tips for Controllers and CFOs. The seminar is created and instructed by Stephen Priddle CPA, CA, CMA, President and Founder of Practical PD and active CFO of SureWx Inc.
