Episode description
January 2019 is a big month for CPAs, in Maryland and throughout the country.
The Maryland General Assembly begins its annual session on Jan. 9. Not a single bill has been introduced yet, but it’s already shaping up to be an extraordinarily busy session for those of us who are trying to protect our profession.
For CPAs nationwide, of course, tax season is ramping up, and there are a number of issues that are already complicating things for tax practitioners: The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, The Supreme Court’s Wayfair decision, and the federal government shutdown.
So things on the legislative and regulatory front are a little chaotic for the accounting and finance profession.
But that’s why we’re here, right? State CPA societies like the MACPA – this is our bread and butter. Protecting our profession, protecting your livelihood, and protecting your clients. This is a huge part of why we’re here.
So today, we’re talking about how all of this impacts you and your clients, what the MACPA is doing about it, and what YOU can do to help us.
We’re joined by returning guest Tom Hood, the CEO of the Maryland Association of CPAs. Tom has his fingers firmly on the legislative and regulatory pulse of this profession – and it turns out there are some really big issues that we need to be paying attention to over the next few months.
