FMN Tape Viewing and Discussion
One of the most
valuable products offered by the IMA is a videotape-training program
introducing and explaining up-to-the-minute accounting and

Financial Executives Institute and the Center for Video
Education, are always stimulating, professionally well done, and
full of need-to-know information. Viewing the tape and participating
in the group discussion following provide 4 hours of CPE credit.

the remarkably low price of only $40.00! We really want to emphasize

Finance.
