What Is De Filipps University? De Filipps University is a program of comprehensive Audio Seminar offerings that are a distillation of the experience that Willard J. De Filipps, CPA, has accumulated over the years. These in-depth, technical audio seminars are addressed to specific topics (1) that generally are not available from other sources and (2) which experienced practitioners often do not have the time to incorporate into their mentoring responsibilities to newer or younger staff persons. We offer seminars that follow two tracks... ® Our Dealership Track consists of seminars that focus on issues that affect automobile dealerships. ® Our General Business Applications Track consists of seminars that cover general tax issues applicable to businesses. All De Filipps University audio seminar program offerings are presentations (usually 3 hours in length) created by Willard J. De Filipps, CPA, during which he discusses in-depth, technical and practical insights and also his conclusions, practices and suggestions for dealing with troublesome aspects of the topics covered. These audio seminars are designed so that De Filipps University participants obtain personal access to Mr. De Filipps’ lengthy experience as a tax practitioner and consultant to CPA firms on matters relating to general tax issues, automobile dealership issues and the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) inventory method. Your questions will be answered. Participants are encouraged to send any questions they have in advance of the seminars. While each presentation includes time for questions, if all questions cannot be answered during the “on-air” time, or if questions arise after the program’s airing, Mr. De Filipps makes available individual discussion time (i.e., “office hours”) for each participant. Benefits of Participation. There is no limit on the number of individuals who can listen to a De Filipps University presentation at one registration site. No travel time, travel expenses, etc., are required, so travel inconveniences are avoided. Information provided in these seminars can be used to develop and enrich any Firm’s in-house training programs. Our Recordings Library contains On Demand Audio Recordings of every De Filipps University presentation, so if you can’t participate in the live presentation, you can hear the entire audio playback later and receive the complete outline and all of the comprehensive supplementary materials. These Recordings are available for purchase following the live airing of each presentation on the "Recordings" tab at www.krm.com/wjd. Each Recording comes with a copy of the program's detailed presentation outline and comprehensive supplementary reference materials in PDF format.
