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.
