I rode to the appointment with my accountant. She said that the IRS was increasing the number of random audits it performs. She had another client who was also going through the process and unfortunately, the client was
Why is it important that your team enjoy their work? If ALL of the members of your team enjoyed their work, your team could achieve tremendous results for your organization! And, imagine the impact on your own personal job satisfaction from your team achieving amazing results...see how it's all connected?Ok, let's get started. Let's look at some specific areas that can help you see what's possible for you and your team.Questions to ask yourself:1. Who is my team comprised of? This may seem silly, but it is critical that you define the team that you want to use with this exercise. So, get clear on the team you want to look at -- e.g. is it a team of people that you work with daily bec
After a tense conversation with my husband, I called my accountant. “You have nothing to worry about,” she assured me. “We have everything in order.”
The letter indicated that I needed to bring several items including bank statements, credit card statements, the prior year’s tax return, and charitable contribution receipts. To my great surprise (and relief), my accountant informed me that she kept copies of all of my statements. I had them too, but mine weren’t exactly in good order. I subscribe to the “shoebox” method of filing. It would have taken days to locate everything I needed.
I put the appointment out of my mind until the day before, and then the nerves set in. Perhaps it’s human nature to fear the IRS. I kept reminding myself that there was no reason to worry, but I couldn’t ignore the knot forming in my gut.

Do you really need a business mission statement? Is it just some fancy words to put in that business plan that collects dust on your shelf, or is there really more to it?One of the key attributes of successful businesses is that they clearly know what they do. Defining the goal or the "mission" of your business can be the key to your success.A good mission statement does three things:" States what business you are in. " Defines your target market. " Provides inspiration for your business.One of the best examples of a mission statement comes from Levi Strauss & Co. http://www.levistrauss.com/Company/ValuesAndVision.aspx"We will market and distribute the most appealing and wi

Our point of view, perception, and learning are all objects of our knowledge, and these are things that prevent us from going ahead. "I already know everything there is to know about that. I don't need to learn any more." We have arrived only at the fourth rung of the ladder, yet we think it is the top rung. Whatever the value of what our intellect and our insight has attained, we have to abandon it. If we don't, we put an end to further progress. Even though it has some value, our knowledge has become an obstacle. If we are caught in our knowledge, if we say that our knowledge is absolute truth, we suffer from the knowledge-obstacle. Those who have knowledge but know that they have to abandon it in order to g

Are you inadvertently driving your customers crazy with your company policies? Not sure?Well, imagine that a customer who's been with your company for a while with no complaints finally has a reason to contact customer service because of what appears to be a billing error. She assumes the error will be corrected quickly and she'll go on her way.Instead, your customer service rep recites a convoluted procedure she'll need to go through to rectify the issue, much to the customer's astonishment. The representative explains by saying, "I'm sorry, but that's our policy and we have to follow it."That procedure might be driven by an arcane control issue in your company -- or perhaps by a legitima
I rode to the appointment with my accountant. She said that the IRS was increasing the number of random audits it performs. She had another client who was also going through the process and unfortunately, the client was facing her third meeting with an auditor. During her first meeting the auditor discovered a rather large personal expense on her business credit card. That set off all kinds of red flags and spurred a series of meetings to further analyze her receipts.
My appointment was scheduled to last a whopping four hours—this is standard operating procedure. The auditor greeted us just minutes after we arrived. Much to my surprise, she didn’t look like an ogre that lives under the stairs. She was a personable woman who was clearly focused on the business at hand yet not afraid to offer a friendly smile.
We sat down at the auditor’s desk in a standard office cubicle in the local IRS office. She asked me a series of questions about my citizenship and related items, and then launched into the spot checking process. With my 2005 tax return in front of her, she asked to see a detailed report of expenses. My accountant handed over a print-out from QuickBooks.
As the auditor reviewed the details, she would periodically point to an expense and ask to see it on the ass
