Regulatory Complexity and Compliance Updates
Definition
The accounting and tax environment continues to grow more complex. Recent and ongoing regulatory changes include: (1) SEC climate disclosure rules; (2) Pillar Two global tax regulations; (3) Cryptocurrency tax treatment complexities; (4) International taxation challenges. Additionally, emergence of new business models (gig economy, digital goods, 3D printing) creates novel income and deduction reporting scenarios that don't fit traditional tax structures. These changes require: continuous professional education, software updates, process redesign, and specialized knowledge. Failure to comply creates liability exposure. The cost is concentrated in staff time keeping current, education expenses, and risk of audit exposure or penalties for incorrect treatment.
