Last year, a Yoh survey of 1,000 American workers found that while 41% say their company acknowledges holidays related to race, ethnicity or gender (e.g., Black History Month, Women's History Month and/or Hispanic Heritage Month), their employer doesn't take any specific actions to advocate for these groups. Worse still, more than one-fifth of workers say their company talks about improving diversity and equity in the workplace but does not follow through with action. In many instances, what companies are doing with their DE&I initiatives can come across as inauthentic and simply performative. It's all talk and little action. Lloyd Freeman, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer at Buchanan Ingersoll and Rooney PC explores all this and more on the latest episode of Back to Work. Buchanan is a law firm with offices throughout the country and hundreds of lawyers who specialize in a broad spectrum of legal matters. Lloyd is also the host of the Dimensions of Diversity podcast, where he interviews thought leaders on the many aspects of diversity in the workplace. On this episode of Back to Work, Lloyd discusses how creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace requires more than just empty gestures or performative actions. They delve into the importance of authenticity in DE&I practices and discuss strategies that HR leaders can adopt to foster genuine inclusivity.

The OECD released a draft framework March 22 that would standardize how global tax authorities regulate and share tax information related to cryptocurrency assets. The draft—called the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, or “CARF”—includes model technical rules and a commentary written for wide adoption and data-sharing among tax administrations. Countries that adopt the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's standards would require individuals and entities that “provide services to exchange crypto-assets against other crypto-assets, or for fiat currencies” to identify their customers and report the aggregate values of the exchanges and transfers on an annual basis. Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC international tax attorney Sahel Assar called the draft proposal a “tsunami” of regulation coming for cryptocurrency and related industries. Regulation, she says in our latest podcast, helps to legitimize the crypto industry. The OECD is gathering public comments on the draft through the end of April. It aims to update the proposal and present it at the October meeting of the Group of 20. Do you have feedback on this episode of Talking Tax? Give us a call and leave a voicemail at 703-341-3690.
