CPAs Offer Financial Literacy Calendar

The Virginia Society of CPAs is offering a free financial wall calendar for consumers, developed in partnership with the American Institute of CPAs.

The 12-month Financial Fitness Calendar is part of a national effort by the profession to educate the public on topics related to money management and fiscal responsibility.

"In light of the current economic crisis, it's important for consumers to be reminded of basic money management principles," said VSCPA chairman Gregory F. Lawson in a statement.

In addition to serving as a wall calendar, the VSCPA Financial Fitness Calendar also contains year-round money management advice on topics such as budget planning, saving for the future, understanding credit and making wise investments. It also includes important tax and financial dates to remember, definitions of common financial terms and contact information for additional financial assistance.

Consumers can access the 2009 Financial Fitness Calendar free of charge online at www.FinancialFitness.org or request a printed copy by contacting the VSCPA at financialfitness@vscpa.com or (800) 733-8272.
