In our Business like your Business being concise counts, so we use the challenge of 140 Characters to communicate Business Information in Brevity. Along the lines of our Twitter streams we have shared a wide range of Business Insight on GAAP, IFRS, Accounting, Controls, the Economy, Taxes, Audits, Regulation and much more. We use DCarsonCPA the main tweet line for the Corporate overview and our State Lines NYCTAXCPA4u and CT_TAXCPA4u for our regional concerns. Our FB Page is a meeting place where we share useful resources like Investor Protection Awareness and other links on the research we are currently into. We hope that you find the work as interesting as we do, we enjoy reaching into issues that matter to you and have the same skills focused on the Business Matters of our Clients. We work with GAAP, IFRS, SEC Regulations, FINRA Rules, IRS Code, State and Local Tax Codes and other areas to best support your Business as needed. We can help you consider where to go on Finances, to strategize your Capital Preservation within the Laws and thoroughly analyze Company Financials and support Financial modeling.

We are here for the range of Issues from Operations through Financial Reporting and Audits and we are working all the time on new skills that will add value for your Business. We Value the opportunity to support your Business and Individual needs for CPA Services and Business Consulting and will do so with the greatest standards of Professional Care and Business Ethics.

You can reach us at http://www.dcarsoncpa.com/ your link to CPA Services and Business Consulting focused on your Business and Individual needs.

Federal, State and Local Government, Laws and this CPA aka Why We Care

Federal, State and Local Government is important to a CPA because it is the Foundation of where we get our Business Laws and Tax Policy from in addition to being the source for Regulation specific to various lines of Business. It is also very key because of the Impact the Deficits and National, State and Local debts can have on the Economy, Business and Families (but not in that order - its Family First for us). We care about the Economy because of the Hard Work we all do and how our money gets put to work at the various levels is really key for us ALL as Businesses and Individuals. There is one more level to this, in the early days when I was growing up my family took time to share our National history with me it was Easy to do because I was between New York, Connecticut, Massachussetts, New Hampshire, Greater New England and other Colonial States (PA + NJ) quite a bit and in All Those Places you can find lots of National History if you look the right way.

A leg of my Family has been here since New York was New Amsterdam and the Dean Road that you know of in Brooklyn was named after a part of my Family Tree "The Deans" many many years ago. On that side of the Family we have a connection to Scotland, Ireland, Holland, and England, General Schuyler and others many years ago in the Revolutionary War for Independence. Sometimes the National History seems to have been placed on a shelf and forgotten and you guessed it we are firm believers that a Nation should remember it's History  - especially this Nation. There is good and bad like in anything but each day that we are here and able to work there are people who have put themselves at risk to defend that priviledge of ours, if we think of the Nation we also are thinking of them and thanking them for their service.

We get to see Lafayette Ave. frequently and wonder how many people realize that the Marquis de Lafayette a Noble Frenchman was once a great defender of Americas Interests. With all this view of a Nations history we don't seperate, rather we believe that the Nation is great because of our Diversity and our ability to work together and achieve results. We have made many positive steps and are a rich nation of cultural diversity that benefits from the many differing view points we have. We do not believe we benefit though when people forget that we are Americans and we do have a Nation to consider so we keep it on point when we talk about the future. At the same time we are a nation amongst nations and we all benefit from the Global Market Place and the exchange of ideas in the world future we share, its just that we also have to take the National Economy and the Nations Fiscal Future into ownership - it is ours Collectively.

We value the opportunity we have to work with all of you and appreciate that our role with you is primarily Business and Individual Finance related but we hope that you wont mind that we also care about the Economy and the Nation too.  A big part of it roles into Taxation and Regulation that comes with our modern times and we also see all the Value that Globalization brings on the upside - we do appreciate the value of ALL who are at work in the Global Economy. Our views on the Nation are not about more than keeping the great trust we have been granted in Fiscal Responsibility and extending that trust to help with ideas where we can - and to support your access to information and the great process we all share where we can consider how we can help in Our Democracy.

It's all in the Efforts

We spent some time to post some links on a range of subjects for your awareness on twitter today - including links to the $1.645 Trillion Current Deficit, Some Consideration of the properties of an Audit Report, the US GAAP concept of Unearned Revenue via consideration of FASB ASC Industry Standards - Topic 926- Entertainment Film - Topic 430 Unearned Revenue as a start point in celebration of the Tribeca Film Festival here in NYC (we like Films and Entertainment so call us if you are interested in CPA Services) . We made it out to the NY Auto Show and saw some great cars there. We also provided links to IRS Travel and Entertainment Expense Standards on the companion Tax tweet lines. We have accomplished a great amount of research behind the scenes that flows with time into our media to connect on services and we are here for you on CPA Services.

We have worked previously to post links on Investor Protection Awareness and Research Related to the Deficits and the Debt and Governmental Accounting at the Local, State and Federal Levels on our FB Page. With time this grows out to be a more and more comprehensive drive to connect and share knowledge and we look forward to speaking with you about your Interests and needs.

We are going to head in to the realm of more Industry driven work in the weeks ahead for you and us. We send you our Best Regards and hope you are headed into a Great Weekend!.

Globalization vs. Localization

Due to these challenging times in the National Economy we spend some time thinking about the great efforts and rapid speed push for Globalization in all areas, and dare to consider if it really is the right way to go. Or that perhaps the particular way that we have been doing this may not be quite right. We are on the precipe of Globalization and Localization and the way we push can have steep results for Our Nation. While Global Trade and Interdependency is very helpful for World Tranquility and certain market factors, like the relatively low prices we all appreciate on many goods, we also have to consider the interests of a Nation and how that Nations future is best served. We have built a model of continual outflows where returns are diminished from the National perspective.

We enjoy the reach and access of a Global Market where so much can be learned and shared and the benefit reaches all (Medicine and helpful Science being positive examples), but at what level can the most generous Nation in the world extend itself. We alone will face the Challenge of the Deficits and pay the costs if an unstudied result ends in little more than a dismantling of the National Economy. At least in conversation and analysis this must be considered more seriously in Policies.

We enjoy some of the great benefits of the Global Economy which will always exist but also consider the rights of the people of a Nation to find dignity in work, (As a Nation) we may have missed the comfortable middle ground on this and may be expecting too much return from our Economic Outflows which thus far seem not to be returning in a meaningful fashion to create the once promised new job creation in the Services Sector. There is meaning in having a Domestic Economy that embraces Agriculture and Manufacturing and we need to think more about that. We can talk about Service Industries as much as we want and yet at the end of it all the things we most need are in Agriculture and Manufacturing as a stable base to our Scientific and Business Knowledge especially when we know that people may have different objectives in work - why not have and maintain a Robust Economy?. Who says that for certain the exodus of Agriculture and Manufacturing had to be a fait accompli? perhaps only those with a vested interest in making it so.

This is not being written from a perspective of being against Globalization, but it is being written in the interest of an under served and under spoken yet widely felt National interest in appropriate Localization as the weighted balance to Globalization. A policy of Globalization that is in Balance with Localization is an optimal solution for the Nations Future. Metaphorically speaking if we have given away our shirt that we have none, then who can we clothe? or better yet who will clothe us?, a better answer is to keep a bit in reserve for our best National interest.

This is no slight to the many and great people that are with us in the Global Economy, just an acknowledgement to the fact that we all have ownership of and responsibility to our Nations well being. While we do not have the answer on this, we encourage consideration of this important matter in the Nations Financial and Economic Future.

Our National Financial Future is under Challenge by Deficit, understanding Governmental Financials is now key for all.

Today we have posted a non-partisan piece on our position with regards to the responsibility of ALL of US in the United States of America to become informed Consumers of Governmental Financial Reporting information at the Federal, State and Local levels. We hope you will take a moment to read it at :

http://www.facebook.com/notes/dcarsoncpacom/our-national-financial-future-is-under-challenge-by-deficit-understanding-govern/198959686811452

We believe that the greatest answer to the current National Deficit Challenge is an upgrade in Public Knowledge of Governmental Accounting for better informed and greater Public involvement in Deficit oversight and problem solving through appropriate Congressional and Legislative Channels.

In addition to the work that we are performing directed at New Business and Client Development, we will be contributing to an intitiative (please join us) to share greater knowledge on Governmental Financials, Laws, the Economy and more. We encourage all Financial and other professionals to join with us on the common cause of protecting our countries financial future through better Public Knowledge of  Governmental Operations, Accouting, and Finance.

We all benefit from leadership in the Financial Services Industry and the Economy at Large that assists on this imperative cause for our future. We all have a part to play at the Local, State and Federal Levels on Deficits and the roles that we play together can protect the Financial Future of our Country and bring us back from the Edge of this great challenge to our collective Financial Future. Sharing knowledge and insight on governmental financials and impact is a key place where Financial Professionals can make a difference to empower the Nations future.

In the ways that you can join this effort, do so to bring clarity and cooperative effort to this cause which can benefit us all. The foundation that we all depend on is the Financial Health and Fiscal Well Being of our National, State and Local Governments. We endorse responsible (balanced)  fiscal spending and socially responsible deficit reduction.
