Kayla Bomar with Green Plains Inc. represented the Nebraska Society of CPAs as one of 40 business and community leaders to share insights with the Nebraska Department of Education as the department begins revising the standards for Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses for all career fields. This process takes place every five years and is an opportunity to ensure programs of study, courses, and standards are aligned to the economic priorities and workforce needs of communities across Nebraska.

Paul Koehler has been selected to join the team of experts at the American Institute of CPAs’ Center for Plain English Accounting (CPEA), which is the AICPA’s National A&A Resource Center.

The CPEA’s straightforward and clear style of writing and speaking helps practitioners understand the current standard-setting environment, interpret complex accounting and auditing rules, assess the potential impact of proposed standards, and determine how to implement standards.
