Each of these scheduled courses will be taught by individuals who are involved in the design and use of the provision software package on a day-to-day basis. These instructors also have a strong FAS 109 background and can address real-life issues faced by tax departments as well as provide the most effective solutions for these issues provided by Tax Series to help users visualize the efficiencies gained using a tax software package.
