Better
IRS Compliance Practice Means Big Change for Practitioners
Meet the new IRS. The kinder, gentler IRS. It’s an
agency with processes that are fast becoming structured, streamlined – and
strangely quiet. Quiet, that is, except on paper. More IRS notices are going
out to taxpayers than ever before. In fact, since 2001, notice volume has
increased 670%, to 201 million sent in 2009.
Legislative Team Tackles Issues in Lansing and Washington D.C.
It’s been a busy couple of months for legislative matters that affect CPAs.
Hot button issues are prevalent at both the state and federal levels. The
MACPA legislative team has taken their efforts to Washington and back home,
as we hosted a major reception in support of U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow.
Value of
Social Media:
Why Accountants Should Get Connected
Today, social media is playing a bigger role in how consumers make decisions
about whether to buy a product or service. Social media provides a platform
for everything from their initial research to asking for a referral from a
trusted source to reading reviews about your product or service.
Navigator of the Profession – Gary Remer
Many MACPA members will recognize this Navigator of the Profession,
especially if they work with employee benefit plans. In June 2011, respected
legal research publication Chambers USA named Gary Remer one of the top
employee benefit plan attorneys in the country.
The Year of the CPA
When a CPA took office as governor of Michigan in January, I was elated.
It’s the first time in our state’s history and only the third time in our
nation’s history that a CPA has been elected as a governor. As a profession,
we were excited that Gov. Rick Snyder would utilize his CPA background,
knowledge and expertise to revitalize our state. The opportunity to provide
a warm welcome to Gov. Snyder at our Spring Members Advisory Council, which
attracted the largest attendance ever, will remain one of the highlights of
my year as chair of the MACPA.
