Ethics has long been considered a cornerstone of the accounting profession. But just how new accountants are to be trained in ethics and how ethical behavior is to be enforced in practice are difficult questions that continue to vex regulators and professional thought leaders.

  • As Fed Raises Interest Rates to Fight Inflation, Mortgage Costs Slow Housing Market
    Jun 29, 2022
    In response to the Federal Reserve’s recent efforts to cool inflation by raising interest rates, the higher cost of obtaining mortgages has slowed down the housing market. The increases have added hundreds of dollars a month to the typical mortgage payment in a market where home prices have already been skyrocketing, meaning that some potential homeowners can no longer afford to buy.
  • NY Federal Reserve President Says Recession Unlikely
    Jun 28, 2022
    New York Federal Reserve President John Williams said yesterday that a U.S. recession is not likely. In an interview, he said, “A recession is not my base case right now. I think the economy is strong. Clearly financial conditions have tightened and I’m expecting growth to slow this year quite a bit relative to what we had last year.”

    Jun 27, 2022
    Issuing her midyear report to Congress, National Taxpayer Advocate Erin M. Collins expressed dismay over the IRS’s large backlog of paper returns and resulting refund delays. “The IRS has said it is aiming to crush the backlogged inventory this year, and I hope it succeeds," Collins  wrote. "Unfortunately, at this point the backlog is still crushing the IRS, its employees, and most importantly, taxpayers. As such, the agency is continuing to explore additional processing strategies."

  • Major Banks Work in Tandem with Treasury to Prevent Cyberattacks
    Jun 24, 2022
    Major U.S. banks have been cooperating with the Department of Treasury in its efforts to prevent cyberattacks by engaging in a simulation exercise involving role play and shared information. The concern arises from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine; Treasury believes that Russia could engage in a cyberattack against U.S. banks. And even if minor banks or third-party service providers are targeted, such an attack could imperil everyone in a highly connected system.

  • International Tax Implications for Digital Assets
    May 31, 2022
    Digital asset businesses and investors are quickly recognizing that the legal and regulatory framework of the United States is highly burdensome for their business activities. The various rules can result in added legal and accounting costs related to filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission, compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act, and understanding and complying with the patchwork of money transmitter laws and state tax nexus laws in 50 different states. 
  • Estate Planning with Digital Assets
    May 31, 2022

  • The Incredible Growing Sales Tax
    May 31, 2022

    The state and local sales tax landscape is constantly shifting as the marketplace of goods and services evolves. Recently, there has been a series of changes related to states expanding their sales tax. First, states are expanding their jurisdiction to impose sales tax, i.e., increasing the number of people subject to tax through nexus. Second, states have attempted to expand the sales tax base by subjecting new transactions and services to tax.
