The Big Four firm plans to stop offering some types of services to SEC-registered audit clients, and to cut the compensation of top leaders if the firm's audits fall short on quality.
Speaker: Victor C. Barnes, CPA, MBA
In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. But if you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner, and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top. 🗻 What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level. The higher you go, the more your effectiveness depends on how you connect, adapt, and communicate.

Do you incur expenses commuting to and from work? Generally, you can’t deduct these transportation costs. The IRS views commuting as a purely personal expense even though you’re going to work for business reasons. And it doesn’t matter if you’re driving your own vehicle or if you travel by bus, rail, taxi or a ride service like Uber or Lyft. To qualify for transportation deductions, you must be traveling away from your tax home to a business location.
