the h-1b visa program is vital for u.s. companies to hire highly skilled foreign workers in specialty occupations, including tax, finance, and accounting.
卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research estimates that as many as 46,000 tax, accounting and finance professionals work at u.s. firms under the h-1b program. this figure has received scant attention in the profession but is critical to its infrastructure. to the extent that it has received attention, critics say the program holds down salaries for u.s. workers.
in 2024, the biden administration eased restrictions on the h-1b visa program while clamping down on abuses. by 2025, with the trump administration, it had become a lightning rod of controversy.
the nation’s tech industry has a huge stake in the outcome. despite fluctuations in the number of h-1b workers requested and approved, the demand for h-1b workers in computer-related occupations remains strong, and h-1b workers play a critical role in the workforce.

transforming audit for the future
for way too long, many firm leaders have equated quality in their audits with making it through the peer review process. peer review is important, but making quality all about that is like the american car executives whose production lines needed a guy with a rubber mallet at the end of the production line to make sure the door fit right. that’s quality control.

quality assurance is making the guy with the rubber mallet irrelevant. the first-time right mindset is taking the japanese approach and making sure the door is designed so it fits correctly from the beginning.
quality control is at the end. quality assurance starts at the beginning and continues throughout the entire process. it’s not a one-time event.

firms have had to adjust.

the rosenberg national survey of cpa firm statistics
i believe 2003-2007 was the golden age of the cpa profession because the robust increases in revenues and profits were never better. the early and mid-2020s will be named by someone much more clever than me, but many of us feel these current years of prosperity have eclipsed the golden age.

client accounting services: the definitive success guide
experience of those offering successful client accounting services shows that the fastest way to start your cas practice is to provide it to some of your existing clients. if you already have a cas practice, it is important to periodically analyze which of your clients have become a good fit for cas. it is important to note that not all of your clients will be good fits for cas.

transforming audit for the future
“it takes less time to do things right than to explain why you did them wrong.” – henry wadsworth longfellow
many audit firms think about quality as a task carried out at the end of the audit by the quality control reviewer. the problem with that thinking is that sometimes the qc reviewer misses major problems. for example, i was working with the new qc reviewer at one firm who spent most of the review time looking at the superficial details of formatting and punctuation, but almost disastrously missing a $3 million error that i spotted right away because the relationships between the numbers didn’t make sense.

quality in audit shouldn’t be just an extra step at the end of the audit, but it should be an approach woven into the fabric of the firm. quality is an attitude of “first time right” that permeates every task and every step in the audit. if you leave quality for the end, you’ll be challenged at delivering quality in your audits.
