Learn how to determine which W-8 to provide to the NRA - Webinar By Miles Hutchinson

Overview

We will begin with the methods of identifying workers who may be non-resident aliens and proceed to the forms and methods of collecting the necessary information to determine whether back-up withholding is required. Next we will examine the rules and forms for proper depositing of back-up withholding taxes and the required reporting to the worker as well as to the IRS. Please note, beginning in 2014 the number and complexity of the forms have both increased due to the implementation of FATCA, the Foreign Accounts Tax Compliance Act.

This course will briefly introduce FATCA and show the impact on the Forms W-8 (now five forms instead of four). The course will focus on Chapter 3 of the internal revenue code related to the payment of FDAP income to non-resident aliens (including an explanation of FDAP income). 

Areas Covered in the Session:

• How to determine whether Nonresident Aliens are working for you
• Review the five forms W-8 including the new W-8BEN-E just released in Q1-2014
• Learn about the drafts of revised forms W-8 soon to be released
• Learn how to determine which W-8 to provide to the NRA
• Discover how a NRA individual must support their claim of exemption from withholding
• Learn the best way to handle questions form NRAs who do not understand your requests or the forms
• Examine a tax treaty and learn how to use it to confirm a claim of exemption from or reduced rate of backup withholding
• Discover how to make your backup withholding deposits timely and keep the IRS from confusing them with your payroll tax withholding deposits
• Study the 1042-S and related forms for filing and reporting backup withholding on the Annual Withholding Tax Return

Evaluating Your Compliance Training - Are You Providing Enough?

Overview

Financial institutions are required to be compliant with laws and regulations. Such compliance needs to be well documented and consistent to ensure financial institutions avoid violations and implications. However, financial institutions often rely on their training programs to provide knowledge and education to their personnel. This training needs to be sufficient and thorough enough to provide the necessary information for them to properly perform their roles and responsibilities while remaining compliant.

Why should you attend:

Although financial institutions have been managing their training program per the regulation requirements, determining if the training program is sufficient remains a challenge for financial institutions. Regulators look to the Bank for ensurance and evidence that not only are the training programs compliant with laws and regulations, but that they are thorough.

Areas Covered in the Session:

• Assessing Training policies and procedures
• Common Pitfalls in training
• Determining effectiveness of training programs
• Ensuring qualified oversight of training programs

Who Will Benefit:

• Compliance Officers
• Internal Auditors
• Staff with roles and responsibilities in training

Core TRACON operational concepts - Webinar By Stephen Alvania Overview Many people believe that communications, navigation, surveillance, and automation technologies are the elements of the complete ATC system when, in fact, they are simply the enabling technologies that allow the air traffic control function to perform efficiently and safely. In reality, air traffic control is the process by which many thousands of aircraft are provided separation services as they climb, descend, and cross paths and altitudes as they travel from any one of thousands of departure airports to any one of thousands of destination airports daily. Air traffic controllers in various ATC facilities are responsible for specific airspace volumes and may be providing those ATC separation services to up to 20 - 25 aircraft at any moment in time. Core ATC concepts, procedures, and techniques have evolved to enable human air traffic controllers to safely manage that level of air traffic density and volume.

Overview

Many people believe that communications, navigation, surveillance, and automation technologies are the elements of the complete ATC system when, in fact, they are simply the enabling technologies that allow the air traffic control function to perform efficiently and safely.

In reality, air traffic control is the process by which many thousands of aircraft are provided separation services as they climb, descend, and cross paths and altitudes as they travel from any one of thousands of departure airports to any one of thousands of destination airports daily. Air traffic controllers in various ATC facilities are responsible for specific airspace volumes and may be providing those ATC separation services to up to 20 - 25 aircraft at any moment in time. Core ATC concepts, procedures, and techniques have evolved to enable human air traffic controllers to safely manage that level of air traffic density and volume. 

Why should you Attend:

If you are a technical or management person involved in developing new and/or advanced ATC technologies involving TRACON operations, it is vital that you understand the fundamental ATC operational procedures currently applied in the TRACON airspace and environment. Without such a personal understanding, it is much more difficult to develop the successful and implementable new ideas and/or technologies that will advance TRACON operational efficiency and safety. 
If you are a pilot, much of your ATC exposure and experience will involve operating within TRACON airspace. Your experience will be more intuitive and less frustrating with an understanding of what the ATC system is trying to accomplish and how works. If you are simply interested in aviation, an understanding of TRACON operations is fundamental.

Areas Covered in the Session:

• Core TRACON operational concepts
• Standard and adapted airspace structures
• Internal airspace sectorization
• Standard Departure and Arrival ATC procedures
• Examples of TRACON operations

Who Will Benefit:

• Engineers and other developers of ATC technologies and systems
• Managers and other aviation strategic planners
• Government and industry aviation executives
• Pilots
• Aviation enthusiasts

Speaker Profile:Stephen Alvania has 30 years of experience with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. He is Certified air traffic controller at an airport traffic control tower, a radar approach control, and an enroute ATC center, Led the development and deployment of the national traffic flow management system.

Background to Industrial Regional Benefits in Canada - Webinar By Compliance4all.com

Overview

Industrial Technical Benefits- Canada's new approach to offsets for defence procurement: As part of the recently announced Defence Procurement Strategy, the Canadian Government has introduced a new industrial benefits policy that is designed to leverage purchases of defence equipment to create jobs and economic growth in Canada. Companies pursuing defence procurement opportunities in Canada will be required to submit value propositions, include key industrial capabilities (KIC) in their proposal and submit detailed industrial and technological benefits (ITB) plans with their proposals that will then be rated by the Government.

This webinar will provide the background to the Federal Government's new DPS, and discuss in detail value propositions, KIC's, and ITB plan requirements. The impact of this new approach on defence procurement will be assessed. Concluding remarks will include a brief discussion of some of the major procurement projects now underway in Canada. 

Why should you Attend:

Defence budgets are being cut throughout the world's advanced nations. While Canada is no exception, new defence policies have been introduced since 2008 that provide for predictable defence spending over a 20 year period. As part of those defence policies, the Canadian Government introduced the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy that envisaged spending more than $40B on ship replacement programs over the next 15 years.

With the exception of the USA, this is probably one of the largest military ship construction programs anywhere in the world today. Coupled to the NSPS is a recently announced Defence Procurement Strategy that reinforces the industrial benefits program required for all defence procurement; a program that in many ways is even more demanding than previous policies. If you are considering pursuing defence procurement opportunities in Canada, you will need to join this webinar to be up to date on the new Canadian policy

Areas Covered in the Session:

• Background to Industrial Regional Benefits in Canada
• Impact of IRB's on the defence industry in Canada
• Policy changes over past three years
• Why a new approach to defence procurement was required
• New Defence Procurement Strategy

Data Compression Methods and Compression Performance Metrics

Overview: The webinar covers the foundations of data compression in the context of the broader subject of information theory. The learner will gain valuable insight into how lossless compression works and why the techniques are robust and trustworthy. In the historical perspective, data compression concepts have arrived in a timely manner to aid the expanding data storage and wireless communication needs of the modern era. The measure of information is defined probabilistically, it is formally defined as entropy, a term that Claude Shannon borrowed from quantum mechanics. 

Why should you Attend:The information age continues to yield more and more data. The Internet, Big Data, Cloud Computing, and data storage requirements are measured in ever-increasing scales of Terabytes, Petabytes, Exabytes, and Zettabytes. Does data compression provide a solution to stem this ever-expanding flood? Can you trust data compression? Doesn't it put your data “at risk”? Are some types of data more compressible than other data? How do the methods of lossless data compression (covered) differ from lossy data compression? Take away from this session a meaningful understanding of lossless compression, its limitations, and the tradeoffs between storage reduction and increased processing required to compact and re-expand data. 

Areas Covered in the Session:

• Entropy as the measure of information
• Shannon's Source Coding Theorem
• Huffman Trees and Huffman Coding
• Arithmetic coding
• Dictionary methods
• Transform methods
• Data deduplication
• Implementation considerations, Open Source software, Hardware compression chips

Open Source Technology Adoption Trends within Government

Overview: Unmanned vehicle systems currently represent one of the fastest growing technology sectors in the world. Within the next five years, the global market for UAVs is expected to top $100 billion. 

However, growth and innovation within the US marketplace has been severely hampered due to the FAA's decision to limit access to aerial system flight testing while it establishes rules and certifications for use of UAVs in the nation's already crowded air space. These limits to flight access areas does not apply to national defense and security UAV programs. Therefore the government and military programs continue to stretch the innovation chasm between government and commercial UAV developers, adopters and suppliers. The OS-URAVS program is designed to help bridge that gap through the use of open source software technologies. 

Areas Covered in the Session:
• Trends in Government Adoption of Open Source Technologies
• Growth of UAVs as Platform
• OS-URAVS program: goals, expectations, deliverables
• Research and Commercial Technology Transfer
• Blue Sky

Who Will Benefit:
• Strategic Program Managers
• Government & Commercial UAV representatives
• UAV DIY Developers
• Entrepreneurs / Investors

Disciplined Agile Offshoring: Making it Work for Both the Customer and the Service Provider

Overview: Offshoring software development projects suffer from two significant yet easily addressed problems. First, the customer's instincts for how to run an outsourced project are more likely to hurt rather than help them. Second, service providers (SPs) prove to be little more than order takers that don't have the courage to negotiate a winning strategy. 

Why should you attend:

• What will happen with your intellectual property (IP)?
• How do you know that an outsourced project is on track?
• How do you recover a troubled outsourced project before it's too late?
• How do you build a healthy relationship with your outsourcing partners?
• How do you know that a service provider can deliver in an agile manner?

Areas Covered in the Session:

• What the Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) framework is.
• The risks associated with offshoring.
• Disciplined agile offshoring from the point of view of the customer.
• Disciplined agile offshoring from the point of view of the service provider.
• What you need to do to succeed at disciplined agile offshoring.
• Industry statistics regarding agile offshoring in practice
• Criteria to determine if you're ready for offshoring IT delivery projects.
