should congress mandate presidential tax audits?
lack of audits on president trump triggers an investigation.
by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research
should the president and vice president of the united states be a little above the law, a little privileged, a little exempt from audits of tax returns?
the answer would seem obvious. and while these top-level executives aren’t explicitly exempt, they do wield power over the internal revenue service, and the president signs into law bills that could affect his or her personal financial situations. and in today’s almost even split of the senate, the vice president often casts a deciding vote on such bills.

the accounting industry is facing a growth in demand but suffering a squeeze on available talent.
bloomberg tax calculates that the number of accountants and auditors employed fell 17 percent between 2019 and 2021. the shortage starts on the supply side: the number of u.s. students completing bachelor’s degrees in accounting declined from 2016 to 2020, according to the aicpa’s 2021 trends report.

the short supply is aggravated by high turnover and growing demand. accountants have been leaving corporations and audit firms in record numbers. though it’s been expected for some time that baby boomer retirements would produce a talent crunch, the crunch has been earlier and tighter than expected because of the great resignation.

rosenberg invites partners to join comp study
results to help firms determine changes for their partner income allocation systems.
rosenberg associates and grand valley state university are conducting a research project on partner compensation, seeking insight from firms across the country with three to 20 equity partners to better understand the advantages and disadvantages of partner income allocation systems and characteristics.
the survey, running until jan. 30, takes 5-10 minutes to complete. to take the survey, start here.
“we are thrilled to work with gvsu and professor chris harper on this project. the data revealed through this study will help firms evaluate how their compensation system compares to those of their peers and determine changes they may want to make that could enhance their firm’s overall future success,” says kristen rampe, cpa, managing partner at rosenberg associates.
chris harper, cpa, gvsu school of accounting professor, adds, “studies like these help the accounting industry learn data-backed perspectives on what works and what doesn’t for small to mid-sized firms. we are excited to see what we discover about partner compensation from this research.”

the current tax changes from the inflation reduction act include 87,000 irs hires to bolster tax return audits for small business.

i believe the additional irs agents will create significant pressure on accounting firms to increase staff and costs associated with client audits. this will create pressures to take advantage of tax credits and incentives, but firms must do this with third-party providers with impeccable reputations.
