Covered extensively in this issue, Baruch College's annual audit conference brings practitioners together with leading regulators and standards setters to discuss both core topics and emerging issues. Recently appointed PCAOB board member George Botic analyzed the question of who is responsible for audit quality, as well as where PCAOB inspections fit within that mission. Two emerging issues—ESG (environmental, social, and governance) reporting and digital assets—were also the subject of lively panel discussions covered in this issue.

  • How Managers Can Avoid Letting Their Egos Get in the Way of Effective Leadership
    Apr 16, 2024
    Some business leaders employ a variety of coping styles to counteract feelings of imposter syndrome, resulting in “executive ego dysfunction," according to one strategy consultant.

  • Getting Back to Basics: Securities Analysis and Section 475 Elections
    Apr 3, 2024
    In the dynamic world of financial markets, investors and traders employ various strategies to maximize returns and manage risks.

Understanding the common tax adjustments that arise from trading in the financial markets (e.g., wash sales, straddle adjustments, constructive sales) and the methods to remedy or control the amount of the adjustments are key to a tax-efficient trading strategy.

    Apr 3, 2024

    Another seismic development occurred just before the end of 2023 as the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service released proposed regulations on donor advised funds (DAFs). The release of the proposed regulations was significant not least because of how long the sector has been operating without meaningful guidance in this area. It has been over 15 years since DAFs were first legally defined and specifically regulated with the addition of Section 4966 and related provisions of the Internal Revenue Code as part of the Pension Protection Act in 2006.
  • 2023 in Review and an Outlook on the Horizon for Tax-Exempt Entities
    Apr 3, 2024

    As we enter a new year—an election year at that—many business tax incentives, including those affecting tax-exempt organizations, face potential elimination after 2025. As of this writing, Congress has introduced legislation to extend some of these incentives. Meanwhile, the popular Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERC) came under IRS fire in 2023 after a significant uptick in fraudulent claims by unscrupulous ERC “mills.” The following summarizes updates to the ERC along with other significant changes presented recently at the FAE’s Exempt Organization Conference.
