NSAC provides accounting, tax and business education uniquely tailored to cooperatives. In addition to Accounting and Auditing Seminars presented by the chapters and technical and professional development breakout sessions offered at NSAC's National Conference and at chapter meetings, NSAC presents webinars which qualify for CPE credit. These courses allow participants to remain in their offices and to eliminate the cost of travel time, thus allowing every NSAC member to attend. They are also open to non-NSAC members at a reasonable fee.

We currently have CLNs on the following topics scheduled. Additional courses will be continually added.

    Below are courses offered in the last twelve months. For a complete list of PODCasts available, click here.

    Unless otherwise noted, courses will last one hour. The courses will be interactive with participants able to speak or chat with the instructor and/or other participants.

    Cooporative Learning Network Testimonials

    "Thank you very much for the presentation. We found it informative as well as practical. We had a variety of experience levels attend, and we received nothing but positive comments. We hope to participate in future broadcasts." - GreyStone Power

    "The Sunkist group that participated in "Intro to Coops" distance learning session thought it was very worthwhile. In fact, one commented that it was too short given the subject, and felt that these sessions should be two hours rather than one." - Vice President of Finance, Sunkist Growers, Inc.

    "Thanks, this was very informative and well done."   - Administrative Assistant, CoBank

    "The session provided a good introduction to cooperatives for our junior staff and even some of the long-timers learned a thing or two! " - Farm Credit Administration

    "The workshops are very beneficial to me. As a CPA, this helps meet part of the requirement for CPE. I always feel like travel time is so unproductive. This eliminates that by being able to work in the office right up until the time of the workshop. I enjoyed the workshop yesterday. I work for a rural electric cooperative, and it was informative to see the broad scope of cooperatives. The setup was very easy to use. I have used this type training before, but on the audio portion we were not able to talk or ask questions except through the chat section. I like your way better, because it is almost like being there. Thank you for setting up this type training. I plan on using it again in the future." - Vice-President, Accounting, People's Electric Cooperative

    "We were pleased with the seminar. " - Vice President, Systems & Controls, Staple Cotton Cooperative Assn.

    "I sat in on the presentation. Very impressive! Our whole group gave it very favorable comments." - Chief Financial Officer, AL Farmers Cooperative, Inc.                                                 

    "I thought that the web cast on ‘The New Fraud Standards’ was very good and informative. Jeff did an excellent job. Thank you." - New Hampshire Electric Cooperative
