UPDATED 2024: When it comes to Human Resources, it may not be apparent why a CPA would need a course on the subject.

Because knowing these principles implies knowing their own rights and responsibilities in an ever-changing business world. This thorough course is a perfect way for newcomers to understand the basics of HR and begin to get a grasp on the importance of the department. Course Type: Business Simulation.
