Is your accountant, false?

Is your accountant, false?



The Administrative Department of Security and the Central Board of Accountants, in joint activities, are conducting a research project, in order to establish which individuals have usurped the title of public accountant, practicing the profession illegally.


By virtue of the mandate contained in article 2 paragraph 4 of Act 43 of 1990, the Central Board of Accountants should complain to the authorities who are identified and as a CPA firm without being registered as such mandate is reason to be in the need to defend the interests of users of accounting services.

The joint work of these two entities, seeks to establish mechanisms to identify false accountants, acting inescrupuloPsamente in the labor market, hurting their actions to legal and natural persons, carrying out their business in the country.

People illegally practicing public accountant, in addition to questioning of the disciplinary order which is derived from the implementation of Act 43 of 1990, may incur criminal law violations, the Commercial Code and the Tax Code, among others, the conducting behavior of fraud, misrepresentation in its various forms, providing data or information contrary to reality, bound for public authorities, resulting in the application of financial penalties and imprisonment from 2 to 10 years.

Act 43 of 1990, provides in article 2 "Solo may practice public accounting people who have met the requirements set forth in this Act and the rules that regulate it."

Lord accounting service user, verify that the practitioner you hire is properly registered with the Central Board of Accountants, for that you should always demand Professional Card and valid certificate of registration and disciplinary record, issued by the Central Board Accountants, which will help to establish the veracity and validity of registration, requirements without which there can pursue the profession.

A SHORT HISTORY OF ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS

A SHORT HISTORY OF ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS

The history of accounting is as old as civilization, among the most important professions in economic and cultural development, and fascinating. That’s right, fascinating! Accountants invented writing, developed money and banking, innovated the double entry bookkeeping system that fueled the Italian Renaissance, were needed by Industrial Revolution inventors and entrepreneurs for survival, helped develop the capital markets necessary for big business so essential for capitalism, turned into a profession that brought credibility for complex business practices that sparked the economic boom of the 20th century, and are central to the information revolution that is now transforming the global economy. Twenty-first century accounting will resemble rocket science and will continue to be among the critical professions of the new century. Accountants have not excelled in public relations, but their story is fascinating. And here it is.

There are no household names among the accounting innovators; in fact, virtually no names survive before the Italian Renaissance. It took archaeologists to dig up the early history and scholars from many fields to demonstrate the importance of accounting to so many aspects of economics and culture.

Accounting history is summarized in seven chapters. An overview places accounting in perspective. In some ways accounting hasn’t changed since Paciolli wrote the first textbook in 1494. On the other hand, accounting has led the information revolution. Many aspects of 21st century accounting will be unrecognizable by today’s professional leaders. Understanding the role of financial needs today and in the future requires an understanding of the past. The role of accounting in the ancient world is coming into clearer focus with new archaeological discoveries and innovative interpretations of the artifacts. It is now evident that writing developed over at least five thousand years—by accountants. The roles of trade, money, and credit also have long and complex histories. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of double entry bookkeeping. It was central to the success of the Italian merchants, necessary to birth of the Renaissance. The Industrial Revolution depended on inventors and entrepreneurs, not accountants. It is the survival of their firms that required innovative accounting and, later, the development of a profession. Big business, particularly the railroads, required capital markets that depended on accurate and useful information. This was supplied by the expanding accounting profession. The earliest of the Big Eight started in mid-nineteenth century London. Turn of the century America saw the rise of really big business, governable because of improvement in cost accounting. But the Crash of 1929 and the subsequent Great Depression demonstrated problems with capital markets, business practices, and, yes, considerable deficiencies in accounting practices. Many aspects of current accounting practices started with the flood of business regulations from the Roosevelt administration. The earliest electronic computers were funded to assist the World War II efforts. By 1950 massive efforts were begun to automate accounting practices, a continuing process. A global real-time integrated system is a near reality, suggesting new accounting paradigms replacing double entry and generally accepted accounting

accountants jokes **

An accountant is having a hard time sleeping and goes to see his doctor.
 
"Doctor, I just can't get to sleep at night."
"Have you tried counting sheep?"

"That's the problem - I make a mistake and then spend three hours trying to find it." 








**Why did God invent economists?
  So accountants could have someone to laugh at.
** What's the difference between an accountant and a lawyer?
The accountant knows he is boring.
** What does an accountant say when you ask him the time?
It's 9.18 am and 12 seconds; no wait - 13 seconds, no wait - 14 seconds, no wait......

in the 2011

something interesting that affects us all in some way or another

Unofficially the minimum wage to about eight million workers would rise from $ 515,000 to $ 528,000. Negotiations between employers, workers and government have already begun.



Already voices are being heard from various institutions on the topic of interest each time you close a year, the minimum wage. On the one hand, Anif says to maintain the real value of the minimum wage for next year only be adjusted by 2.5%, in line with inflation expected for 2010.


For its part, the Central Workers' start to 'fight' for an increase of 8%. Asking that the increase is $ 40,000 and not $ 15,000 as suggested by the Central Bank. The manager of this institution, Jose Dario Uribe, said inflation was under control and it is very possible that this year, the goal is met and that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) can be completed in about 2.7 %, as published in El Espectador.



Another who gave his point of view was the director of Fedesarrollo, Roberto Steiner, who recommended that employers and employees to exercise restraint when concluding a minimum wage increase for next year. He said that in the past 11 years the minimum wage increase has been above inflation last year, and in fact the wage has risen to 30% more than inflation.



The position of the working class


The President of the General Confederation of Labour, Julio Roberto Gomez, said that a week figure of 8% means less anxiety for monthly expenses, rent, food and education.






Similarly, said that the increase of 2.7% who think the Bank of the Republic is "blur of reality" because that would mean 15 thousand dollars of increase "and that money does not buy the food basket."






The Government has argued in several scenarios that the increase of the minimum for next year should be in line with inflation, otherwise it will affect job creation.






What Anif report says


Government, employers and unions should seek a balance of wage adjustment for 2011. It must analyze inflation, productivity and labor market conditions to adjust the minimum wage. This was published Portfolio.






The idea, according to the report, is to preserve the real purchasing power of most Colombian homes and avoid a deepening of the serious problem of high structural unemployment and informality that affects Colombia.






The minimum wage increases above what is economically viable would result in higher unemployment rates compared to current (11.5% average year) and informality (now is about 55%).




Voices


"It's not an easy process, given that inflation this year will be in the order of 2.5%, which complicates the negotiations. And began in earnest the struggle between business, government and workers about what should be the minimum wage increase in 2011 ": Rafael Mejia, vice president of the Business Council.

The "BIG FOUR" - The four accounting firms - by Wendy Cuy

The Accounting Profession: Power, Pressure, Perfection and People

Since 2002, the accounting profession has been rocked by sensational corporate scandals and subsequent strict regulations.  The four largest global accounting firms (the ‘Big Four’) still have more challenges on the horizon.  All of them see their talented staff as the best tool to embrace these challenges and add the value demanded by clients.  Each of the Big Four believes their people are the source of their future competitive advantage.
But, most graduates who are recruited by these firms write the same exams, are affiliated to the same professional bodies and are overseen by the same external regulators.  The structure of an audit, the deadlines, the type of people who are recruited, the pressure and the opportunities are similar at each of the four accounting giants.
If talented people are the key to differentiation for each of the firms, why and how should they change and structure themselves in order to capitalize on this critical resource?  How can they each use their people to differentiate from each other?
In spite of the new networked, knowledge economy, increased regulations and changes to the profession, the organisational design and way audits are staffed and performed has generally remained the same.
Is it time for the Big Four to change?



The power of the Big Four
Ernst & Young, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Deloitte are the four largest accounting and professional services firms.  They are the global ‘Big Four’.  In 2007, they had combined revenue of $89 billion and this is likely to exceed $100 billion in 2008.  Together they employ over 500,000 people globally.
According to AccountancyAge.com, the Big Four audit 100% of the FTSE100 and 97% of the FTSE350.  Recent research done by BDO Stoy Hayward in the UK revealed that investors would be concerned if a company switched to a non-Big Four auditor.  A third would then review their investment decisions.  Of those investors who expressed concern, they could not articulate exactly why they would be worried.  The reputation alone of the Big Four giants gives the public a sense of confidence and security.
Clearly, the Big Four accounting firms have created a powerful, global oligopoly.
Why everyone has a vested interest in the Big Four
An audit identifies whether the financial statements, prepared by management, are fairly presented and are a true reflection of the financial position of the company.  Audits provide vital confirmation and confidence to investors so that they can allocate their capital wisely.
The dominance and power of the Big Four has risen out of the importance of reliable accounting, which is the foundation of the commercial system.  They are perceived as the stewards of the integrity and reliability of global capital markets.  The integrity of capitalism depends on the integrity of accounting systems.
