On March 27, 2006, accounting firms can look to one platform for their research, guidance and workflow needs as PPC’s complete line of Accounting & Auditing guidance and e-Practice Aids become available on RIA’s Checkpoint ®. More than 90 PPC titles, including Guide to Public Company Audits, Guide to Audits of Small Businesses, Guide to Compilations and Review Engagements and the 1040 Deskbook will be integrated and linked with primary source material.

“Customers tell us that the PPC engagement guidance and tools have become a critical part of their workflow. Most accounting firms, both small and large, use these practice aids to provide a standardized approach that minimizes audit risks and provides easy learning for their staff,” Rich Alfano, SVP Strategic Marketing, Research & Guidance for Thompson Tax & Accounting, commented in a prepared statement announcing the launch of the PPC content. “The guidance with e-Practice Aids on Checkpoint even further increases their productivity.”
