Abstract : The ability to speak fluently in front of a group is indispensable, particularly for higher-ranking CPAS. Once all of the studies, reports, and statements have been prepared, it is frequently left up to the CPA to present the data. In addition, many CPAs are called upon to deliver public presentations -- at CPA chapter meetings, CPE conferences, board meetings, and other events. The author has learned that when duty calls you to the front of the room, you want to make your best impression. With that in mind, this article presents a handful of tips to help you hone your next presentation: 1. Start strong. 2. Embrace dead air. 3. Use a variety of teaching methods. 4. Number your points. 5. Use visuals. 6. Deliver a solid finish. 7. Be prepared when following a speaker. 8. The show must go on. He hopes that these insights will help you escalate your next presentation from mildly eventful to wildly successful.
