17 Jul 2010Careers for CPAs in Forensic Accounting Forensic Accounting is the merger of accounting and legal investigative work. Think of a forensic accountant as a Sherlock Holmes who delves into the balance sheet to ferret out nefarious deeds or Elliott Ness of the FBI armed with a calculator. For instance, in March 2008, Heather Mills hired the forensic accounting firm of Lee and Allen to delve into her ex-husband, Sir Paul McCartney’s wealth derived from his career as a Beatle, his music rights, business assets and properties, such as his Peasmarsh estate in East Sussex. When the court found that he was worth only a paltry 400million (over US $639,000,000), Heather Mills stated, “We all know he’s worth 800million. He’s been worth 800million for the last 15 years.” The Sunday Times Rich List put the former Beatle’s wealth last year at 825million. Forensic accountants are hired by law firms in corporate and family law. They are hired by law enforcement: the FBI alone has over 1,400 forensic CPAs and accountants on their payroll already.

18 Jun 2010The next topic that I would like to discuss with all of the owner operators out there is budgeting. With the economy being as tight as it has been the last couple years, many people have become a lot more aware of their expenses. Trucking is one business where you can analyze and plan all day, and it might not do you a bit of good. At the end of the day, you need to make sure you are planning to be ready for the worst case scenario, not expecting and hoping for the best case scenario. Some things, like the rates you are paid and the miles you run are somewhat predictable. But the one variable that isextremely difficult to predict is the amount of money it is going to cost to maintain your truck.
It can be incredibly frustrating for a business owner when they have provided services or merchandise and their clients are simply not paying. When letters, phone calls and e-mails have not done the trick, it may be time to take a different course of action. A debt recovery specialist can help a business get the money they are owed without the hassle of chasing down their clients themselves.
