AAFCPAs Participates in Compliance Panel at NECANN Boston 2025
AAFCPAs’ Janice M. O’Reilly, CPA, CGMA and David McManus, CPA, CGMA will join Tony Gallo, Sapphire Risk Advisory Group, and Peter D’Agostino, Tenax Strategies, for an interactive panel discussion at the 2025 New England Cannabis Convention (NECANN) on key compliance issues faced by cannabis establishments. The opening day session will cover compliance and reporting requirements with a focus on real-world scenarios. Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of regulatory procedures, so they can avoid costly missteps and ensure operations are aligned with state mandates.
Maintaining compliance with federal, state, and local regulations can be daunting. But this session provides actionable insights for cannabis operators to help navigate regulatory complexities and focus on business growth rather than compliance headaches.
