Is your e-mail a “beast”? Does it take up too much time, cause distraction, and actually get in the way of productivity vs. helping with productivity? Without a system for “controlling the beast”, professionals spend much of their work (and personal) time spinning wheels and feeling highly unsatisfied. If you would like to get control of your e-mail “beast”, you should attend this program led by Randy Dean, MBA, author of the Amazon bestseller, Taming the E-mail Beast. Randy shares strategies for effective e-mail management, organization, and prioritization (featuring live and newly updated demos in New & Web Outlook) that have helped thousands of business professionals regain control and sanity with their e-mail activities (one university client even found that the average attendee saved more than 2 hours per week by taking this program!) Enhance your efficiency today and walk away with immediately usable tips and techniques!

Why this course matters: E-mail and information overload and distraction is an epidemic of its own in the global business world, and one of the audiences that suffers most from it are accounting and financial professionals. Many of them spend 25-50% or more of each day trying to simply manage their email, with less than 10% having any formal training on how to do so. Gained efficiencies can literally provide hours of additional productivity (and sanity) each week.

It has the potential to fundamentally have attendees rethink their relationship with their e-mail and other information input sources and distractions. Now, email tends to be almost all-consuming for many working professionals, while their key projects, clients, activities and events suffer from a lack of focused effort and priority. This may help them put e-mail in its proper place.

Course Key Concepts: Microsoft; Outlook; New Outlook; Web Outlook; E-mail; Email; Software; Productivity; Efficiency; Microsoft 365; Organization; E-mail Management.

Description:
The GAO's Yellow Book, Government Auditing Standards, establishes CPE requirements. Auditors performing work under GAGAS, including planning, directing, performing field work, or reporting on an audit or attestation engagement under GAGAS, need to maintain their professional competence through continuing professional education (CPE). Therefore, each auditor performing work under GAGAS should complete, every two years, at least 80 hours of CPE that directly enhance the auditor's professional proficiency to perform audits and/or attestation engagements. At least 24 of the 80 hours of CPE should be in subjects directly related to government auditing, the government environment, or the specific or unique environment in which the audited entity operates. At least 20 hours of the 80 should be completed in any one year of the two-year period. For details on the Yellow Book CPE requirements go to http://www.gao.gov/ and https://www.gao.gov/assets/700/693136.pdf.
