The Foundation, which has 48 state partners, offers more than 1,750 live and webcast continuing professional education (CPE) courses to CPAs and other financial professionals.
In accepting her new position, Pastenieks said that technology has changed the way accountants and finance professionals take their CPE. She noted that the majority of the training is being done on-line and keeps evolving at an accelerated rate.
“The Foundation is tasked with rapidly developing innovative products and services to meet the needs of its customers, which include young and seasoned accounting and financial professionals,” Pastenieks said. “Providing education continues to be an extremely competitive environment.”
She said that the Foundation strives to provide quality CPE. The newest trend in delivering CPE is called “nano” learning, which consists of 10-minute units. The Foundation plans to launch nano-learning modules within the coming year.
