It's Time for You to Get Serious about Protecting against Cybercrime
Field of Study: Management Services
Organizations are focusing increased attention and resources on enterprise security, as they experience an unprecedented surge in the frequency and magnitude of cyber attacks. Yet, financial executives too often regard unauthorized access to IT systems as just another expense that is associated with risk and insurance. Robert Cioffi, CEO and co-founder of Progressive Computing, Inc., provides us with ten critical IT security protections that every business must have in place now.

Behavioral Clues in Occupational Fraud: Know the Red Flags
Field of Study: Auditing
Most financial executives are aware that fraud costs billions of dollars in damages as well as huge losses in productivity and in reputation. However, many enterprises continue to overlook the danger, as well as the reality, of the fraud that is committed by insiders. Dr. Eric Kreuter, a certified fraud examiner as well as a partner in the firm of Marks Paneth LLP, details the behavioral clues that serve as red flags in the prevention and detection of occupational fraud.

Taking a New Look at the SEC's Enforcement Powers
Field of Study: Accounting
On the one hand, the Securities and Exchange Commission reported that, after several years of increases, it brought fewer enforcement actions last year. On the other hand, the SEC unanimously approved the PCAOB's standard for a new auditor's report, including the controversial communication of so-called "critical audit matters." Charles Hecht, a partner of Wolf Haldenstein LLP, briefs us on the landscape for a wide variety of securities enforcement issues, from corporate disclosures to whistleblower protection.

Business Taxes: Planning for 2018, While Finalizing 2017
Field of Study: Taxes
Although the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was a massive tax reform, Congress has continued to provide additional tax legislation for businesses to consider. From the perspective of Edward Zollars, a partner in Thomas, Zollars & Lynch, Ltd. as well as the lead tax discussion leader for the Loscalzo Institute, these new laws have increased the pressure on the IRS to release much needed guidance, while returning the attention of businesses to the potential need to amend their recently-filed 2017 returns.
