the inflation reduction act endowed the irs with almost $80 billion to improve customer service and beef up enforcement. congress later reduced the amount to $57.8 billion, with $24 billion earmarked for enforcement.
in no time at all, there was misinformation bouncing around social media and conservative podcasts, claiming that the ira would result in more audits of middle-class taxpayers.

the enforcement resources had no such designation. to allay fears, in 2022 the secretary of the treasury directed the irs commissioner not to use any of the additional resources to increase the audit rate of small businesses or households earning below $400,000.

by anthony venette
valuing startup companies accurately has long been a challenge for legal, financial and regulatory professionals because data is scarce and projections are inherently speculative. take the recent case of hyde park venture partners fund iii l.p. v. fairxchange llc. this case has garnered significant attention as the delaware court of chancery was tasked with determining the fair value of fairxchange, a nascent company with a business model focused on revolutionizing the securities exchange landscape.

valuing a startup is a nuanced exercise, often requiring a blend of creative thinking and rigorous financial analysis. unlike established businesses that have predictable cash flows and extensive financial histories, startups have uneven cash flow and minimal operating histories. so, their valuation is typically based on future potential rather than past performance. the lack of historical data forces both investors and courts to rely heavily on projections and assumptions, which can vary significantly based on the valuation method used. if you’re working with (or for) a fast-rising startup, you don’t want to be cavalier about the company’s valuation.

wellness is more than just a powerful tool for retention and recruiting—it’s one of the most critical issues for the accounting profession to tackle moving forward. it’s also a subject that i’ve been passionate about for many years.
so when i had the opportunity to participate in a panel discussion highlighting practical approaches to wellness at the allinial global executive team conference in may, i jumped at the chance to share ideas and experiences with fellow panelists demetrice branch, chief people officer at weaver, and mike giuli, cio at cherry bekaert.
our panel moderator, donny shimamoto, opened the discussion with an intriguing observation: innovation doesn’t always have to be driven by technology. wellness is a way for firms to innovate. keeping that in mind, we explored three different dimensions of wellness and how allinial global firms are incorporating these aspects into their wellness initiatives.
four actions to take now.

the potentials and requirements of artificial intelligence are still a massive unknown. so far, we’re getting only a distant whiff of what’s to come.
yes, ai is already serving us with doing research, composing letters, filling in blanks and taking best guesses. but turning it into a multifunctional workhorse is still a workhorse in progress.

can cpa firms take advantage?

cpa firms have long been aware of the worsening talent shortage. fewer students are majoring in accountancy. fewer are pursuing cpa certification. and baby boomer leaders of accounting firms are retiring more often than ever.

no surprise, then, that 90 percent of cfos who responded to the survey say they have outsourced at least some accounting functions.
