On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Currently, there are close to two million cases of the coronavirus illness in over 210 countries and territories around the world. The overall impact of the virus has already destroyed small businesses, particularly in entertainment, food and beverage, hospitality; almost every industry has suffered. The morning of September 11, 2001 changed the world, and we thought this was the worst we've seen. And now one night in March, we all went to sleep and woke up in a different type of world. Kimberly Dula, CPA and Managing Partner of the Philadelphia office of Friedman LLP, discusses the overall impact of the pandemic on business.

Pay Equity: The Tale of Two Genders - Part I
Field of Study: Accounting
Discrimination, racism, inequality...big words with an even bigger meaning, words that even in the year 2020 impact our lives, one way or another. One of those words that is often on the sidelines is pay equity. The Equal Pay Act (EPA) of 1963 prohibits sex-based wage discrimination between men and women in the same establishment who perform jobs that require substantially equal skill, effort and responsibility under similar working conditions.
