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/

When Steve Hare first qualified as an accountant, he never imagined presenting to 4,000 people as chief executive of the UK's largest technology firm, steering it into the age of AI. However, he believes his accounting background will prove pivotal in managing one of the most transformational technologies seen in a generation. Hare joined AccountingWEB technology editor Tom Herbert at the Sage Future user conference in Atlanta last week, where he spelt out his vision for how artificial intelligence will be implemented across Sage's product lines, helping the vendor leapfrog competitors and position Sage at the forefront of AI accounting – but also outlined why he believes there will always be a need for accountants.

Oracle NetSuite founder Evan Goldberg and senior vice president EMEA Nicky Tozer join AccountingWEB technology editor Tom Herbert to discuss new products launched at the show, how the developer is using artificial intelligence to connect businesses, and why technology could enable the first billion dollar company run by one person.

Billions in federal funds for nonprofits were abruptly frozen by the Trump administration, leaving organizations scrambling to stay afloat. Blake speaks with Jerilyn Dressler and Harriet "Hatsy" Cutshall from YPTC about how these freezes disrupted essential services, the complex flow of federal grants, and the rigorous compliance requirements nonprofits must meet. With a judge ordering the funds to be reinstated, they discuss what's next for nonprofits and the ongoing challenges of government funding oversight.Meet Our Guests: Jerilyn Dressler, CPA : https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerilynkeitdresslercpacfeHarriet "Hatsy" Cutshall, CPA : https://www.linkedin.com/in/hatsycutshallcpa-yptcGet in TouchThanks for listening and the great reviews!

The beginning of February marks the end of the self assessment season so Richard Hattersley starts the podcast sharing how accountants on AccountingWEB coped on deadline day. The team speaks about the 1.1m who missed the deadline and what's next for accountants now that another self assessment is over. Tom Herbert details the Companies House agent filing system, requiring firms filing for clients to register on a new system. He looks at the rollout timeline, its impact on accountants and whether it will have the desired effect. To wrap up the podcast, Matthew Ord explores the journey to the boardroom and how CFOs rise through the ranks.

With Christmas and New Year fast approaching, the AccountingWEB team reunites for their final podcast of 2024, reflecting on the year's biggest stories.

The team discusses ongoing lessons and why it's important to keep this issue in focus. Next, they tackle HMRC's pattern of U-turns, including this year's reversals on double cab pickups and helpline cuts, sharing what these shifts reveal about HMRC's direction. The conversation turns to major anti-money laundering (AML) failures, such as Metro Bank's £16.7m fine and the accountant who faked being an auditor for 34 years. The team questions why AML continues to be an issue and whether things will change. General election highlights and two budgets – Jeremy Hunt's Spring Budget and Rachel Reeves's inaugural Autumn Budget – also feature, with their impact being examined. Finally, Richard Hattersley and Tom Herbert share bold predictions for 2025, exploring where the accounting profession might head in the coming year.

This week's podcast brings together four cloud accounting commentators to discuss the evolving role of technology in accounting, the varying adoption rates of cloud solutions, and the future of artificial intelligence in the industry. Recorded on location at Oracle NetSuite's SuiteWorld conference in Las Vegas, AccountingWEB technology editor Tom Herbert was joined by American duo Blake Oliver and David Leary from The Accounting Podcast and Australia's Heather Smith from the Accounting Apps Podcast,

This week AccountingWEB is joined by Bradley Channer, CFO at UBIO and CIMA council member. Channer talks about how the managing director of Mineral Resources wanted to hold his staff captive all day, not wanting them to leave even for a coffee. The team shares their opinion, emphasising why workplaces need to be attractive for employees and what accounting can learn from this. Tom Herbert speaks about carbon accounting software, explaining what it is, why accountants should care and what kind of software is available. And finally, with the government proposing to hike windfall taxes from 75% to 78% and the industry raising their concerns, Matthew Ord questions whether the government will listen.

The AccountingWEB team dive right into Labour's landslide victory last week, talking about Keir Starmer and the first female Chancellor, Rachel Reeves. They question whether Reeves will pause and take consultation from those involved in the industry. Tom Herbert discusses a popular topic, choosing the right software and apps. He explores the term ‘best', why that's not always the case for software and other factors that need to be considered. Turning back to the election, Richard Hattersley shared that accountancy candidates were obliterated. Has the electorate fallen out of love with accountants and why? Finally, Matthew Ord sheds light onto HMRC who was criticised for being unable to fix a problem of its own making after the department wrongly refunded voluntary class 2 national insurance contributions.

Sukhinder Singh Cassidy, CEO of Xero, tells AccountingWEB technology editor Tom Herbert why the cloud accounting platform has shifted to a more focused approach, how accounting firms can take more risks, and what doing the books for her family's business taught her about the profession.

Richard Hattersley follows on from the previous episode of election talk by going through each party's manifestos and the tax promises they are pledging. The AccountingWEB team look at what's missing and how the political parties expect to pay for these promises. We are joined by Tom Herbert live at Xerocon, giving us the inside scoop on the latest announcements that are being made and some updates on AI. Our special guest Mike Goldsmith, head of events at Sift, chats about the Accounting Excellence Awards. He shares what's new, popular categories and the trends he is seeing. He offers some advice on what the judges are looking for in this year's entries. Goldsmith also reveals an increased deadline to 28 June so get applying! Matthew Ord rounds off the podcast with some M&A chat, looking at the uncertainties that life can bring and why having an exit strategy is so important. This episode of No Accounting for Taste is sponsored by Comarch, a global IT business and solutions provider that optimises operational and business processes: https://www.comarch.com/

In this episode, Tom Herbert, technology editor at Accounting Web, shares his insights on the British Post Office scandal, which has been ongoing for decades, ruining the lives of many subpostmasters. Heather and Tom discussed the problems with the Post Office's Fujitsu Horizon point of sale system implementation, leading to unbalanced reconciliations and accusations of theft against subpostmasters. The Post Office used its prosecution powers and prosecuted 700 subpostmasters between 1989 and 2015, resulting in jail time, financial ruin, relationship breakdown, lost homes, living in cars, and sadly much much worse. The scandal is discussed from the perspective of an accountant, the POS implementation, the forensic accountant who aided in uncovering the issues, the suspense account, the high tax hitting the subpostmasters when they received any compensation. The story behind this scandal, Mr Bates vs the Post Office, was broadcast on ITV in January 2024. We talk about the importance of storytelling in bringing this story into the narrative of the general public.

We hate to break it to you, but…    The internet is not special. It's just one of many marketing principles to lay hold of (albeit - a necessary one in this time).   At least, that's what our guest Jassen Bowman, EA, asserts in this episode of the ProMarketer Podcast. He says it's no different from any other offline marketing medium.    Of course, tax and accounting firms still need a strong online presence and a plan for marketing to new and existing clientele.    But despite all the fancy tips and tricks for how to market online, a lot of the tried-and-true marketing principles still apply to the internet.

Episode 128. In today's interview, "The Disruption Proof Accounting Firm: Joe Woodard." As an author, consultant, business coach, and national speaker, Joe has trained over 125,000 accounting and business professionals in areas of practice development, changing technology trends, strategic consulting, and how to maximize the use of accounting software in their practices. He is the host of Woodard Institute, Woodard Alliance and one of the world's leading training conferences for small business advisors called Scaling New Heights(R). In 2012 and 2014-2021 Joe was recognized by Accounting Today as one of the Top 100 Influential People within the accounting profession. He regularly publishes articles for Intuit publications and for Insightful Accountant, and Joe has been featured repeatedly in Accounting Today and AccountingWEB in both articles and in video interviews. Joe is the CEO of Woodard Events, LLC which provides education, coaching, resources, and a community for small business advisors and small business owners within the accounting industry. In this interview with Rob Brown, Joe speaks with passionate authority about what a disruption proof firm looks like as we emerge from the covid pandemic. He explains what a true cloud accounting firm looks like, and the main disrupters that are making many firms irrelevant or commoditised. Joe dives into the term advisory, shares why CPAs and accountants miss the mark and why they haven't been good custodians of the trusted advisor label. He shows how accountants misinterpret the word 'trusted' and highlights the talent problems coming up for accounting as the boomers move up and out. Joe speaks passionately about what has stopped CPA firms competing and future proofing as well as they could have. If you want to know whether accountants should think more like entrepreneurs or the other way round, Joe has the answers. The blurred lines between bookkeepers and accountants is also explored by Joe, who gives an excellent analogy in how doctors and nurses look after their patients. He finishes with practical advice for accounting firms who want to defend the brand of the profession, the culture of their firm and the impact of disruption on their business. All these goodies and more - Joe's interview has exceptional content for those accountants and firms who want to move from good to great. ************************************ Fun facts about Joe: he is a proud unashamed Star Trek nerd and has even been to conventions!
