With the IRS laser-focused on enforcement, many partnerships will find themselves subject to their first IRS audits under the new procedurally complex partnership audit rules. Under these rules, the default is that the partnership pays an entity-level tax called an “imputed underpayment” (IU) on any adjustments. This means, unless certain steps are taken, the current partners would bear the tax even if they weren’t partners for the year under audit.

When compared to traditional small businesses, early-stage technology startups have nuances that they need to consider when putting together their financial statements and chart of accounts. Often, I find that entrepreneurs have used a financial model to assist them in their fundraising efforts. While helpful there, this model often differs wildly from their actual financial operations.

A new PCAOB staff report sheds light on an area where PCAOB inspectors have observed relatively high rates of audit deficiencies: special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). From 2020 to 2021, U.S. markets experienced an unprecedented surge in the number of initial public offerings (IPOs) by SPACs. SPACs typically have no commercial operations and are public companies formed solely to raise capital to merge with or acquire a private company, effectively taking it public.

As these companies face economic uncertainties and changing market conditions, they resort to layoffs as part of a cost-cutting exercise.

"Offer payroll and do it yourself,” they said. “It’ll be fun!” Spoiler alert: It was not fun. Most CPA firms know that they need to offer payroll services to their clients or risk losing them to another firm that will. However, many don’t really want to. It is often time-consuming and complex due to changing tax laws and regulations, and with the growing staffing shortages, most just don’t have the resources.
