AI and voice cloning technology expert, Ryan Lazanis, discusses the applications of AI in accounting such as extracting information from emails and documents, AI-powered tax analysis tools, and enhancing advisory services. The podcast also covers issues with spam and scams in QuickBooks support, the need for more granular requirements in accounting services, and specialized education in tax. Other topics include changing the negative perception of accounting, the connection between ESG and working conditions, IRS employees' ties to corporations and auditors, and solutions for accounting firms.

Hosts discuss negative stereotypes about accounting affecting students' interest, the concept of becoming a CPA in New York without a degree, and criticisms of the 150 hours requirement. They also cover limitations of audits, resources for learning and navigating accounting, and features of Keeper and Legal Zoom Books. They explore tax service integration, lack of curiosity in accounting, and benefits of using Fin Daily for financial data automation.

The requirements to become a licensed CPA differ across states, yet CPAs maintain mobility to practice in multiple jurisdictions. How does this work? David Knoble, Chair of the South Carolina Association of CPAs (SCACPA), joins the show to bust myths around substantial equivalency and mobility rules for CPAs and discuss the SCACPA's proposed changes to licensure requirements in the state to encourage more accountants to become CPAs.Knoble clarifies how states have flexibility in setting licensing requirements under existing standards while still enabling cross-border practice privileges. With an in-depth look at the Uniform Accountancy Act, including real examples of alternative pathways, we shed light on this complex topic to provide an accurate understanding of what substantial equivalency and mobility mean for you as an accounting professional. Tune in as we separate fact from fiction around these critical concepts impacting the CPA profession.Meet Our Guest, David KnobleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidmknoble/Twitter: https://twitter.com/knoblecpaLearn more about Knoble Ingle CPAshttps://www.knobleingle.com/Need CPE? Subscribe to the Earmark Accounting Podcast: https://podcast.earmarkcpe.comGet CPE for listening to podcasts with Earmark CPE: https://earmarkcpeGet in TouchThanks for listening and for the great reviews!

Blake and David delve into the use of AI in detecting plagiarism in students' papers and its implications for the ongoing debate on AI's impact on employment. They also shed light on the increasing cost of audits and the alarming decline in audit quality. Shifting the focus to remote work, they analyze a study's findings on productivity and emphasize the importance of considering the nature of the work. The conversation takes a concerning turn as they address the shortage of accounting staff and the urgent need to address overwork and its detrimental effects. The episode wraps up with an intriguing discussion on the IRS's transition to paperless operations and recent incidents involving lost tax information. As a bonus, they share amusing anecdotes of fraudsters and a heartwarming story of an accountant being inducted into a water ski hall of fame.SponsorsLiveFlow - http://accountingpodcast.promo/liveflowZoho - http://accountingpodcast.promo/zohoSouth Carolina Association of CPAs (SCACPA) - http://accountingpodcast.promo/SCACPAChapters(00:04) - Preview: Where did Hunter Biden's income come from?
