I feel the CPE is highly relevant as a majority of the sessions have lecturers who are experts in their field. The online interface that NYSSCPA utilizes is user friendly and allows me to easily sort by topic."

The Latest From Our Publications

Read the December 2018 Issue on

CPAJournal.com

Once again this year, our December issue includes selected results from the annual Rosenberg Practice Management Survey. The survey includes an analysis of how New York firms differ from their counterparts across the country. There are several takeaways: revenue growth remains solid, though slowing; merger activity is up significantly; income per equity partner was up modestly overall but negligibly at medium-sized firms; the average age of partners continued a slow decline, with the exception of the largest firms; core audit, review, compilation, and write-up services faced continued pricing pressures; and the percentage of female equity partners still lags behind the percentage of female staff.

  • Lilly Ledbetter: Discrimination "An Epidemic" That We Must Fight to End
    Jan 18, 2019

    Lilly Ledbetter, a speaker at the NYSSCPA’s Women’s Leadership Conference today, made headlines when she took her employer, Goodyear, to court over years of pay discrimination. While the court ruled against her because she didn’t file her claim in time, the aftermath prompted the passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law in 2014. Since then she said she has talked to many women across the world and has concluded that the kind of discrimination she experienced is a worldwide "epidemic" that won't go away unless people, especially women, actively fight. 
  • Speakers Share Lessons from Journey to C-Suite
    Jan 18, 2019

    Jan 18, 2019
    KPMG Chief Diversity Officer Michele Meyer-Shipp said that achieving diversity and inclusion in the workplace "is a marathon, not a sprint," noting that women, and men of color, have been leaning in for years, and now it is time for everyone else to lean in to meet them. She spoke, in a conversation with NYSSCPA President Jan C. Herringer, at the NYSSCPA's Women's Leadership Forum, held Jan. 18 in Manhattan.
  • Speaker: Becoming a Data-Driven Organization Not Easy, But Worth It
    Jan 17, 2019
    Everyone is talking about data, and how big data will change everything, but what exactly does this mean on an operational level? Amy West, CEO of AHRC and a speaker at the Foundation for Accounting Education's 41st Annual Nonprofit Conference, offered lessons from her own experience. 
  • Speakers: TCJA Means Treating Nonprofits More Like For-Profits
    Jan 17, 2019
    The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has a number of provisions that both directly and indirectly affect not-for-profit organizations, but a pair of speakers at the Foundation for Accounting Education's 41st Annual Nonprofit Conference today said that the targeted provisions seem to focus on narrowing the gap between rules that govern non-profit and for-profit organizations.

  • Practical Sales Tax Considerations for Vendors in the Wake of Wayfair (Part I)
    Dec 19, 2018
    By now we’re sure you have all heard about the U.S. Supreme Court case South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. This case reversed over 50 years of precedent and completely changed the way states can administer their sales tax laws with respect to out-of-state vendors. 
  • The Wayfair Decision and its Effect on Income Tax Nexus
    Dec 19, 2018

  • Medtronic v. Commissioner: New Direction for Transfer Pricing Cases?
    Dec 19, 2018
    For tax years 2005 and 2006, the IRS proposed a transfer pricing adjustment resulting in a tax deficiency of over $1.35 billion.  Medtronic filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Tax Court, and in June of 2016, the Tax Court issued its decision disagreeing with the IRS’s allocation of income.  
  • Fiduciary Income Tax Planning: Income Taxation of Trusts Under the New Tax Act
    Dec 19, 2018

    The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) represents a broad-based change to the U.S. tax code, touching on virtually every area of taxation, including of course fiduciary income tax. While some aspects of the new tax law impact trusts directly, the effect of the TCJA on individuals may have even greater implications for trust planning.
