Course Description

CPAs work closely with their clients, often for years or even decades. The nature and depth of this long-term relationship mean that CPAs are uniquely positioned to notice changes in a client. By becoming educated about Alzheimer’s and dementia, CPAs may be able to spot early warning signs and provide information and support to their clients.

In this webinar we'll explore typical age-related memory, thinking, and behavior changes that may impact your clients. We will introduce the common warning signs of Alzheimer's and dementia—focusing on the signs a CPA is most likely to observe—and discuss tips for gently approaching a client with your concerns. The importance of early detection and the benefits of diagnosis will be addressed, with special attention paid to the latest advances in treatments and research. We’ll also discuss how CPAs may get involved in the Alzheimer’s Association’s Accounting Industry Leadership Council. 

Learning Objectives: 


  • State the facts and figures describing Alzheimer’s in America today 

  • Recognize the common warning signs of Alzheimer’s and dementia most likely to be observed by CPAs

  • Identify best practices for approaching someone regarding memory concerns

  • Define the importance of early detection and the benefits of diagnosis

  • Describe the latest therapeutic treatments and approaches currently being explored

  • List the benefits of becoming engaged with the Accounting Industry Leadership Council
