Join the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) and Baker Tilly for an informative webinar covering the final prevailing wage and apprenticeship (PW&A) rule, explain recordkeeping, and provide recommendations on how contractors can help their projects maintain compliance.  The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) created game-changing opportunities for many projects to capitalize on the largest energy investment in U.S. history through tax credits. Complying with PW&A under IRA can significantly enhance credit value by five times, and therefore many project owners are asking contractors to comply. It took nearly two years for the PW&A requirement final rule, leaving many contractors in a state of flux as project owners are pushing penalties and/or loss of credit to contractors. Yet, this also is a perfect opportunity for contractors to take advantage of the boom of projects seeking energy credits. Unfortunately, being “in accordance with” Davis-Bacon is not enough and has created significant confusion for contractors. This is tax credit compliance for the IRS, requiring stringent record-keeping requirements for an extended period of time. Baker Tilly's Laura Cataldo will review fundamentals of the IRA base and adder credits, including domestic content, energy community and prevailing wage and how our solution can help substantiate compliance.

 Join our speaking sessions:  Baker Tilly and Lake County, Indiana: A Turnaround Story
For Lake County, Indiana, a 2022 Oracle Cloud implementation—of ERP, enterprise performance management (EPM), human capital management (HCM) and supply chain management (SCM)—had a rocky start. Listen as Lake County and Baker Tilly describe how they worked together to find a new path forward, resurrecting a project that experienced numerous errors and process breakdowns that put the county’s audit status at risk. And, hear how they expanded functionality to further enhance the Oracle Cloud journey. Speakers:  Scott Schmal, Director, Finance, Lake County Council, Lake County, Indiana Ben Penick, Manager, Baker Tilly  Time and date: TBD  Moving to Oracle Cloud? Things to consider and how to get started
At this point, a move to the Cloud likely feels inevitable. Now is the time to align the organization and set a strong foundation for eventual cloud implementation success. In this session, hear from Becky Savikas of IPS-Integrated Project Services, and Steve Salata and Jeff Haynes of Baker Tilly as they discuss the “Calibration Phase” in the journey to the Cloud. This “Phase 0” stage occurs before actual implementation activities and focuses an organization on the vital steps of preparation: mitigating risk, reducing project anxiety, informing decision-making and accelerating time to value. Speakers: Becky Savikas, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, IPS - Integrated Project Services, LLC  Steve Salata, Experienced Manager, Baker Tilly Jeff Haynes, Director, Baker Tilly  Time and date: TBD
