DETAILS: Understanding today's legislative landscape is critical when leveraging state and federal tax incentive opportunities, especially as new programs become available to help stimulate state and local economies. If a company is not reviewing all available programs, it may be leaving money on the table. During Staffing World 2011 , Angela Lockman, vice president of tax credits and incentives, of TALX will lead an interactive session about monitoring ever-changing tax credit and incentive programs as well as related legislative changes. During 'A World of Opportunity With Tax Credits and Incentives,' participants will learn how to review internal tracking operations to ensure compliance, as well as negotiation strategies for securing the most beneficial state and local governments tax credits and incentive packages. Because effective program tracking and internal compliance is resource-intensive, this session will conclude by looking at how industry partners can take a fresh look at firms' programs, hiring trends, and operational initiatives to enable a best-practices approach. Staffing World 2011 will take place from Tuesday, Oct. 11 through Friday, Oct. 14, 2011.
