Political and regulatory changes heavily influence the accounting industry. Shifting tax policies, new compliance laws and cybersecurity regulations create an unpredictable landscape. CPA firms must stay ahead of these changes to avoid penalties and operational disruptions.
With increasing government scrutiny on data security, firms must comply with laws such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and IRS Publication 4557. Additionally, political debates around data privacy, like state-level consumer data protection acts, can introduce new compliance burdens.
A scalable, cloud-based IT infrastructure enables accounting firms to adapt to evolving regulations without massive overhauls. IT providers with a compliance-first approach ensure CPA firms remain secure and audit-ready in any political climate.
