Washington, D.C. – The American Society of Cost Segregation Professionals (ASCSP) will host its second annual conference on October 22-23, 2009 at the Mirage Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada. A Conference highlight will be a presentation by Keynote Speaker Mark D. Ramos, IRS Lead General Engineer, who will be joined by IRS General Engineer Greg S. Churchill. Ramos and Churchill are highly influential IRS representatives within the cost segregation area who will provide valuable insight from the IRS perspective.
Kurt Heinrich, ASCSP president, said, “The second annual ASCSP Conference will be a great opportunity for industry professionals to advance their practice of cost segregation and interact with peers. In response to feedback from ASCSP members, this conference includes educational sessions designed to allow for the exchange of practical ideas and solutions. Members of the ASCSP Board of Directors and committee chairs will also discuss goals and action plans for 2010.”
Founded in 2006 by a group of industry leaders, ASCSP is a national, nonprofit organization with a mission to establish a measurable standard by which cost segregation professionals and their work product may be evaluated. In addition to certifying professional credentials based on experience and testing, ASCSP has developed benchmark technical standards for reporting that are closely aligned with the IRS Audit Techniques Guide for Cost Segregation.
As the cost segregation industry’s professional leadership organization, ASCSP is a valuable resource for professional and business development. ASCSP Conference sessions will include a mock IRS Audit Examination, a presentation on the Open Air Parking Structure Coordinated Issue Paper, and discussions on standards, education, and ethics within the cost segregation field. The examination for the Certified Cost Segregation Professional Designation (CCSP) will be given on Wednesday, October 21 to those who have previously registered for the test.
Registration is still open for the cost segregation industry’s premier professional event. The conference registration fee is $470 for ASCSP members or $770 for non-members. Learn more and register online at www.ascsp.org.
