It is about you — your visibility, your relevance and your survival.Sponsored by Infinite Ties, led by Deneen Dias, empowering US firms to scale Client Advisory Services through peer-to-peer learning and training.**Key Takeaways*** Compliance is backward looking.

P, a public company of some size, was obliged to have its accounts audited: [1]From 2016 to 2025 an auditor audited the Co's financial reports. The auditor was qualified but not validly appointed in contravention of the Corps Act: [2]P sought a declaration pursuant to s1322(4) that the purported appointment of the auditor was not invalid: [3](Importantly, the order sought was that the appointment be declared not invalid pursuant to a certain section that would otherwise cause it to be invalid; rather than a declaration that the appointment was itself valid: [24])Broadly, a contravention of this kind can be ordered to be invalid if the mistake was (i) procedural, (ii) an honest error, (iii) and that there is no substantial injustice: [6]From around 1970 Mx A was appointed auditor. Over time “A & Co”, “A Partners”, “A Accountants etc” were appointed auditors – all of those entities related to Mx A: [11] – [14]In around 2016, Mx A died. Apparently their child, also named Mx A began work at the auditing firm: [14] – [16]Mx A, the younger, was a qualified auditor and fulfilled the role for P until early 2025, signing off similarly using a related entity: [16] – [20]In early 2025, P decided to put the role out to tender following tension between Mx A and P's board: [21]Mx A resigned around this time, and the irregularity of their appointment as auditor was revealed: [22]There was no doubt that Mx A's firm was retained as auditor and indeed performed the work and was paid for it: [23]The evidence tender satisfied the Court that P had a reasonable basis for suspecting the appointment was not properly made: [25]Following a consideration of the evidence, some of which evidence P's searches of its own historical records, the Court was satisfied the potentially invalidity of the appointment was honest: [28] – [33]The Court considered shareholders and others who might be affected by the order sought and found there would be no injustice: [34] – [38]1322(4) relief is discretionary. While highlighting that the improper appointment of an order not a matter of small moment, the Court elected to exercise its discretion: [39] – [42]Following some amendments the Court made orders largely consistent with those sought by P: [50]The Court was not prepared to make orders that P and its dir complied with their duties where it appeared they had not done so: [49]___Please don't forget to follow James d'Apice, Coffee and a Case Note, and Gravamen on your favourite platform!www.gravamen.com.au

Roger and Annie also dive into New Zealand's streamlined tax system where 90% of taxpayers never file returns, sparking a fascinating debate about whether such simplicity could ever work in the United States.SponsorsPadgett - Contact Padgett or Email Jeff Phillips(00:00) - Welcome to Federal Tax Updates (01:56) - Introducing the Guest: Gilles Pearson (03:22) - Challenges in Hiring and the Birth of Accountests (05:26) - The Importance of Testing in Hiring (08:29) - The Role of Personality and Skills Tests (14:13) - Developing Effective Tests for Accountants (24:45) - Personality Profiles and Team Dynamics (31:45) - Using Tests for Employee Development (34:47) - Succession Planning in Smaller Firms (37:02) - Accountant Stereotypes and Communication Challenges (40:54) - The Role of Personal Interaction in Accounting (45:08) - Streamlined Hiring Process with Account Tests (49:08) - Comparing Tax Systems: US vs New Zealand (57:08) - Final Thoughts and Farewell Connect with Giles Pearson https://nz.linkedin.com/in/giles-pearson-fca-8a175843https://www.accountests.com/Get NASBA Approved CPE or IRS Approved CELaunch the course on EarmarkCPE to get free CPE/CE for listening to this episode.Connect with the Roger and Annie on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/rogerharrispbs/https://www.linkedin.com/in/annie-schwab-852418261/ReviewLeave a review on Apple Podcasts or PodchaserSubscribeSubscribe to the Federal Tax Updates podcast in your favorite podcast app!This podcast is a production of the Earmark Media

Earmark Media Presents a bonus episode of Earmark Podcast: What happens when Congress votes to eliminate the watchdog that's overseen public company audits for two decades? In this episode, Blake Oliver sits down with three leading accounting academics—Maureen McNichols from Stanford, Nemit Shroff from MIT, and Daniel Aobdia from Penn State—to examine the research behind the PCAOB's effectiveness and what elimination could mean for audit quality. You'll discover why companies with clean audit inspections can raise capital more easily, how the infamous "40% deficiency rate" actually works, and why these researchers believe dismantling the PCAOB could undermine trust in U.S. capital markets. The conversation reveals the hidden economics of audit oversight and explains why there hasn't been a major public company fraud since Enron and WorldCom.Chapters(00:00) - Welcome to the Show (01:10) - Meet the Experts (02:59) - Discussion on PCAOB's Elimination (08:17) - Research Insights on PCAOB's Effectiveness (20:11) - Deficiency Rates and Audit Quality (24:50) - Economic Impact of Fraud and PCAOB's Role (25:20) - Regulatory Model of the PCAOB (25:59) - Incentive Structure and Audit Quality (26:59) - Inspection Deficiency Rates (28:54) - Restatement Rates vs. Deficiency Rates (30:23) - Auditor-Client Relationship Tensions (31:42) - Documentation Issues in Audits (35:15) - Effectiveness of PCAOB Inspections (37:49) - Impact of PCAOB on Financial Reporting Quality (40:33) - Potential Elimination of the PCAOB (44:00) - Conclusion and Final Thoughts Sign up to get free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://earmarkcpe.comhttps://earmark.app/Download the Earmark CPE App Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/earmark-cpe/id1562599728Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.earmarkcpe.appConnect with Our Guests:Maureen McNicholshttps://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/faculty/maureen-mcnicholsNemit Shroffhttps://mitsloan.mit.edu/faculty/directory/nemit-shroffDaniel Aobdiahttps://directory.smeal.psu.edu/dza5396Connect with Blake Oliver, CPALinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/blaketoliverTwitter: https://twitter.com/blaketoliver/
No matter how smart, hardworking, or experienced you are, there's still that little voice in your head saying, "Who do you think you are?" If you've ever felt like you're just "lucky" to have your job or that one day, people will figure out you don't really know what you're doing, you're not alone. This feeling has a name—imposter syndrome—and it's way more common than you think. It's that sneaky doubt that makes you question if you're actually good at what you do, even when all the evidence says you are. It shows up when you hesitate to raise your rates when you overwork to prove yourself, and when you second-guess decisions you're more than qualified to make. This week, I'm going to discuss why imposter syndrome is so common among accountant moms and how to overcome imposter syndrome. You can read the full show notes HERE
In 2001, Lisa Druxman became a mom and an entrepreneur. She was looking for a way to blend her passion for fitness with motherhood. “I decided to create a workout that I could do with my baby,” she recalls. “I didn't want to miss a moment of his new life but also knew that I needed to take care of myself.” Lisa created an exercise routine for new moms and realized that other mothers would benefit from working together to restore their well-being. Now she leads a business that brings exercise, companionship and support to tens of thousands of moms around the country. Stroller Strides grew over the years and added Fit4Baby (prenatal classes) and Body Well (habit-transformation program). All of the classes now make up the FIT4MOM brand. Lisa Druxman and FIT4MOM have been featured numerous times on NBC's Today Show, CNN, The Montel Williams Show, Access Hollywood and profiled in magazines such as Entrepreneur, Woman's Day, Good Housekeeping, Self and more.

What happens when Congress passes a $3.8 trillion deficit-increasing bill by just one vote while promising fiscal responsibility? Blake and David break down the "Big Beautiful Bill" and reveal who really benefits—spoiler alert: it's not the middle class or the national debt. They explore QuickBooks' aggressive new AI agents rollout with price hikes up to 17%, examine why Tesla's CPA CFO earned $139 million in one year, and uncover how tariff-stressed businesses are weaponizing invoice rejections to manage cash flow. You'll discover why the time-based billing model is fundamentally broken in accounting, learn about the emerging "Next 12" tier of accounting firms, and understand why partners work the most hours while achieving only 6.9/10 job satisfaction.Sponsors Relay - http://accountingpodcast.promo/relayTeamUp - http://accountingpodcast.promo/teamup REFRAME 2025 - http://accountingpodcast.promo/reframe2025 Payhawk - http://accountingpodcast.promo/payhawkChapters(00:44) - The Big Beautiful Bill Act Overview (03:13) - Public Perception and Survey Insights (04:51) - Tax Implications and Specific Provisions (19:24) - National Debt Concerns (29:35) - QuickBooks AI Agents and Price Increases (32:52) - AI and Automation in Accounting (33:52) - Intuit's Earnings and Stock Performance (34:53) - Price Increases for QuickBooks Products (36:53) - AI Agents and QuickBooks Plans (38:01) - Impact of AI on Accounting Apps (38:56) - Intuit Enterprise and Accountants' Role (39:28) - Reframe 2025 Conference (42:40) - Big Four Transparency and Work Hours (48:18) - Tariffs and Invoice Rejections (54:52) - Big Four vs. Next 12 Accounting Firms (01:00:48) - Conclusion and CPE Information Show NotesDo Americans Support Trump's 'Big, Beautiful' Budget Package?
