Topics Covered

According to the ALA, the need for CPAs and attorneys to have a firm grasp of human capital management, measurement, and ROI of engagement is being driven by:

• The risks associated with failing to have a strategic and systematic approach to the management of all stakeholders.

• The increasing pressure on the International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation to develop standards for the disclosure of human capital information in financial reports.

• Research and empirical data showing a clear link between financial results and the effective use and engagement of employees and other key stakeholders.

• The impact of Covid-19 on workforce management and engagement.

• The new US Securities and Exchange Commission SK regulations now requiring US public companies to disclose information on the human capital resource issues material to organizational performance, including information on practices and metrics.

• The recognition that organizations spend up to half or more of annual expenses on people with, in most cases, little return-on-investment measurement.

• An increased interest in ESG investing.

Learning Objectives

• Review how human capital is currently treated for financial reporting purposes.

• Discuss the future of human capital reporting.

• Describe the core principles of human capital management and measurement.

• Review empirical evidence supporting the firm stakeholder value theme.

• Learn about the various tactics of engagement and their business models.

• Review case studies of effective practices.

The program is directed by Bruce Bolger, founder of the Enterprise Engagement Alliance at TheEEA.org, a leading education, outreach, media, and advisory company focusing on human capital management, measurement, and the return on investment of engagement practices.

The ALA partners with McDevitt and Kline LLC for certificate issuance.
