Management Tip of the Day
Today’s Tip 
Invest in Talent Now
As strange as it may seem, the current crisis may be a great time to hire top talent. There are an unprecedented number of people looking for work. If your company has the resources to hire, set up a task force to source potential candidates who may now be looking for work or open to a change. Ask your colleagues whether there are any vendors, advisors, clients, or previous job candidates that they’ve been keeping an eye on, then check in with those people to gauge their current job status. Interview and check references virtually with the same rigor you would in person. Once you’re convinced that you have the opportunity to bring in someone who’s a good fit, learn what motivates them. It’s not always pay — sometimes people are looking for a flexible arrangement or a high level of purpose or autonomy. Arrange to have your candidate speak to senior leaders who can share their vision for the organization and describe the value they hope to build with the new hire. Investing in talent now will help you lay the groundwork for future growth.

A medida que CRÍMENES FINANCIEROS CRECEN DURANTE LA PANDEMIA, LOS GRUPOS CONTABLES DIRIGEN LA PIEZA CLAVE DE LA ACCION AML
 
El informe de CPA Canáda e IFAC analiza los mejores enfoques para la transparencia de beneficiarios reales.

(26 de mayo de 2020)

Como resultado de la pandemia de COVID-19 y las sumas sin precedentes de dinero de ayuda que se mueve en la economía global, la amenaza de delitos financieros y malversación continúa creciendo . En este contexto, CPA Canadá y la Federación Internacional de Contadores (IFAC) publicaron hoy un informe que explora una faceta clave de descubrir y combatir actividades ilegales: la transparencia de la titularidad efectiva.

La lucha contra el lavado de dinero, la corrupción y la evasión fiscal requiere la participación de varias partes interesadas, incluidos los contadores, que confían en marcos legales sólidos e información precisa.

"La información sobre la propiedad beneficiosa, que identifica quién tiene la propiedad controladora de una entidad, es importante para el descubrimiento de delitos financieros", dijo Joy Thomas, presidenta y directora ejecutiva de CPA Canadá. "Mejorar la transparencia de esta información debería fortalecer los regímenes contra el lavado de dinero y ayudar a buscar infractores de la ley y sus ganancias del crimen".

El informe, " Enfoques para la transparencia de la propiedad beneficiaria: el marco global y los puntos de vista de la profesión contable ", contribuye a la conversación global a medida que los países lidian con preguntas sobre hasta qué punto, y por quién, se recopila, revisa y realiza la información sobre la propiedad beneficiaria. disponible. Central a esta discusión es el concepto de registros y registros de beneficiarios reales.

Al examinar cómo varios países están cumpliendo con las recomendaciones del Grupo de Acción Financiera (GAFI) sobre transparencia e información sobre beneficiarios reales, y con las perspectivas de los principales líderes de contabilidad de todo el mundo, el informe revela que:
  • El establecimiento de un registro público de beneficiarios reales no garantiza de inmediato que las fuerzas del orden público y otras agencias de un país tengan acceso a información precisa de manera oportuna. 
  • En varias jurisdicciones, el cambio a un registro público ha sido un enfoque gradual, comenzando con registros no públicos y luego haciendo la transición a registros públicos; y
  • Verificar la información y garantizar niveles adecuados de acceso son factores clave en la eficacia de un registro.
"La profesión de contabilidad global, con su fuerte mandato de interés público, es un socio comprometido en la lucha contra el crimen financiero", dijo Kevin Dancey, CEO de IFAC. "Estamos ansiosos por avanzar en importantes conversaciones sobre políticas, incluidas aquellas sobre la titularidad real, y para trabajar de manera significativa junto con los gobiernos, las fuerzas del orden y otras partes interesadas para combatir el delito financiero en todas sus formas".

Con este informe, los autores ofrecen ideas consideradas sobre las formas más efectivas de cumplir con los estándares internacionales contra el lavado de dinero. Para ver el primer informe, visite:  cpacanada.ca/ beneficialownership .

Web Seminar
Emerging technologies - The new guardians of trust for tax, audit & accounting
June 16, 2020 | 12 PM ET/9 AM PT
Hosted by Accounting Today
Join our concluding webinar from the #ReimagineTrust series where we continue to build on our earlier themes – from an introduction to the Trust Cycle (Part 1) to how trust affects Inputs, Analyses, Decisions & Actions (Part 2) we now move to the concluding chapter of our Trust Series of webinars. With Part 3 we present our vision on how technology is rapidly (further spurred on by the Covid-19 pandemic) taking its place as the de-facto Trust guardian - especially in the areas of Tax, Audit and Accounting.
The pace of technology adoption in these industries is witnessing a notable acceleration in areas such as remote auditing using robotics, AI/ML, drones and the like. We are witnessing a significant momentum towards automation as a guiding principle to navigate and address processes that have traditionally required manual intervention and physical presence.
In this webinar, our industry experts share insights on:
  • Increasing implicit & explicit Trust placed in emerging and next-gen technologies
  • How technology platforms are reciprocating our Trust by ensuring higher levels of reliability, efficiency & security
  • And how technology is poised to take its rightful place as a true guardian of Trust

Adapt Your Marketing Strategy During the Pandemic
The coronavirus crisis has led to radical shifts in consumer attitudes and behaviors. How can you adjust your marketing strategy accordingly? For starters, you’ll need to change the tone of your messaging. Feel-good content that alleviates anxiety and promotes solidarity will help your brand meet the moment. Find ways your company can help respond to the crisis, such as donating to food banks, providing free products for medical personnel, or continuing to pay employees while your doors are closed. People will remember brands for sincere acts of good in a time of crisis. Keep your finger on the pulse by closely observing conversations on social media, community sites, and e-commerce pages, and adapt your messaging accordingly. Finally, think hard about which marketing channels you’re using. For example, with the spike in digital entertainment, you may want to put more dollars toward ad-supported video streaming and mobile gaming.
