DALLAS, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Texas Association of Certified Public Accountants (TACPA - www.tacpa.net), announced today the opening of registration for its 2012 Spring Meeting and CPE Sessions. This conference is open to all Texas-licensed CPAs and meets all Texas CPE requirements.

The sessions will include "Compilation, Review and White Paper Engagement Under New SSARs (Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services)," IRS Updates, State Tax Essentials, and other topics totaling 12 hours of CPE credit. The conference will begin Friday, May 18 at 8:00 a.m. and the final session will conclude at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 19, 2012.

TACPA presents courses targeted at the needs of the independent practitioner and small-practice CPA.

The conference is designed to provide CPAs, particularly independent or small-office practitioners, the opportunity to accumulate credits toward their annual CPE requirements as well as offer a forum to network with other CPA professionals and share ideas, experiences and best practices.

"These days, many CPAs are completing their CPE requirements online. While that's a perfectly viable strategy, there still is a need for a place where you can meet with your peers from time to time. When you work independently, it's awfully nice to be able to occasionally share ideas, thoughts, and experiences face to face," said Dave Brown, Executive Director of the TACPA.

The 2012 Spring Meeting marks our third quarterly meeting of the fiscal year and will be held May 18 and 19 at the:

Doubletree Hotel – San Antonio Airport
37 NE Loop 410 (@ McCullough)
San Antonio, TX 78216.
