What do accountants think about the upcoming election? Accounting Today and our parent company Arizent Research surveyed accountants and other financial professionals. Accountants’ current voting intentions for the 2024 presidential election more or less mirror how they voted in 2020 — allowing for those who are still undecided, they’re relatively evenly split between the two major parties — but they are agreed that fiscal, economic and tax issues are the biggest priorities for whoever wins.

Every year accountants successfully navigate a mountain of regulatory change, and most of them don’t even realize how amazing they are at change management. Managing change is their superpower … as long as the change is forced on them by a regulatory body.   Self-imposed change is just intentional risk-taking. Once accountants recognize that their superpower of change management works equally well with intentional risk-taking, they can leverage their superpower to identify passions, craft culture, and unlock profit.    Ready to tap into your superpowers?��Greg Kyte -- the “Comedy CPA” -- will have you laughing and learning.

On November 20, 2023, the Treasury Department announced a significant update to the regulations governing the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF).

Notably, this update maintains the eligible use categories and existing deadlines, providing stability while empowering recipients to maximize the impact of their funds. Key highlights include: - Impacts on $350 billion in federal projects making investments in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure - Provides clarification on the definition of “obligation” in the Treasury’s rules governing the use of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds The intricacies of compliance, reporting, and regulatory requirements demand not just attention to detail but also a deep understanding of the landscape.

WEBINAR: REVENUE RECOGNITION FOR NONPROFITS: A PRACTICAL PERSPECTIVE May 30 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm Faculty: Ian Shuman and Callee Newhouse, GRF CPAs & Advisors Do the accounting rules for nonprofit grant agreements, contributions and other contracts seem arbitrary and confusing? These rules are a few years old now but can be mysterious since agreements with funders don’t often fit neatly into clear pre-defined categories. Join us as we review these rules and how to apply them. We will spend the bulk of the class walking through real-life examples to illustrate how to identify and account for exchange contracts, conditional contributions, restricted contributions, and multi-year grants.

As organizations try to combat accounting talent shortages, some finance professionals have called for decreased CPA requirements to lower barriers of entry into the field. The 150 hour rule is one requirement that has received criticism as finance leaders grapple with making the CPA license more accessible. This rule mandates accountants to complete 150 hours (or approximately 5 years) of university credits to be eligible for a CPA license. - Some professionals argue that decreasing the 150 hour rule will encourage more people to enter the profession, stating that many students are favoring other master degrees such as an MBA over a masters of accountancy. - Those opposing this change cite concerns about lower work quality.
