Leita Hart-Fanta, CPA is the founder of Yellowbook-CPE. Yellowbook-CPE provides enjoyable, relevant, and convenient self-study courses, webinars, and in-person trainings for government auditors. And, as the name implies, the courses qualify for Yellow Book hours and are NASBA compliant.
Leita also hosts the Auditors Save the World podcast and a free job board for government auditors. Yellowbook-CPE will soon offer a convenient and innovative CPE tracking tool for government audit shops.
After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, Leita started her audit career in public accounting before moving on to become a legislative auditor and a federal grant controller. She founded her training company in 1994, has authored over 15 books, including Accounting Demystified and The Yellow Book Interpreted, and has led over 3,000 conference sessions and seminars.
Her clients include the US Department of Justice, the US Army, the US Department of the Interior, the Inspector General of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Walmart, Valero Energy, Deloitte, and dozens of state legislative auditors, city auditors, and county auditors. She also regularly speaks for IIA and CPA chapters and is the instructor for Texas State University’s Public Funds Investment Act program.
Pre-pandemic, Leita’s work took her to all 50 states, but post-pandemic, she has been offering open-enrollment classes online so that even small audit shops can get the relevant training that they need. She has also been beefing up her self-study course catalog which includes instructors with diverse perspectives on government auditing.
She lives in the Texas Hill Country with her fishing-obsessed husband and elderly pug.
