There's a new method of counting defined contribution retirement plan participants that can make a big difference for clients.

An employee stock ownership plan may be the answer as the accounting profession faces a talent shortage.

MahoneySabol merged in Giamalis; and Wagner, Duys & Wood combined with Kaplan Company to form Wagner, Kaplan, Duys & Wood, LLP.

They aren't the only ones making combinations: At least nine other firms announced deals recently.

Employee stock ownership plans allow accounting firms 'to be in control of their own destiny.'

Not-for-profit organizations are putting more emphasis on cutting costs as they face the prospect of donors giving them less, according to a new survey.

Choreo, a Chicago-based independent investment advisory firm that spun off from Top 10 Firm RSM US last year, has acquired an $8.1 billion wealth management practice from BDO USA.

The board levied a $2 million penalty against the Chicago-based Top 10 Firm for violating its auditing rules and standards, and sanctioned two of its audit partners.

These are the first sanctions ever against a firm over independence violations because it's a member of an alliance where another firm did work for the same client.

It's not a private equity deal, says CEO Wayne Berson — it's private credit to realign the firm's debt and fund a powerful benefit for its employees.
