What Members Think of the HIPA Report
View this short video to learn about the HIPA Report and discover why CDA members value it.
“The CDA HIPA report is a key strategic tool that we use to analyze and benchmark how we are doing as a company. It provides valuable information in a much more efficient manner than if we were to try and capture this data ourselves.”
—Chad Owen, President, Chambers & Owen, Inc.
“The primary reason we started submitting data was our desire to know how we are performing in the industry and maintain our anonymity. We have been able to use confidential comparative date and improve our business philosophy and practices to improve our balance sheet and financial reports.”
—Charlie Casper, Hardec’s
“This survey is one of the better ones we complete and we like that you can print the report to work on it versus a google form. We also like that we can simply attach our financial statements instead of entering in all of the data.”
—Kyle Drummond, CPA, CFE, Division Controller – Wholesale, AMCON Distributing Company
