| 20 Jul 2023 | Is it the End for the Noncompete? | 00:40:43 | |
Hosts: Josh Shilts, CPA/ABV/CFF/CGMA, ASA, CFE. Shilts CPA, PLLC Nene Gianfala, CPA/ABV, CEIV, ASA-BV/IA, Chaffe & Associates, Inc. Guest: Jennifer L. Anderson, JD, Baker Donelson Jennifer Anderson joins Nene and Josh to discuss the Federal Trade Commissions’ (“FTC”) proposed rule to ban Non-Compete Agreements. What’s at stake is employers’ ability to impose noncompete agreements on their workers. Noncompetes are a widespread and often exploitative practice that suppresses wages, hampers innovation and blocks entrepreneurs from starting new businesses. Ms. Anderson provides in-depth analysis and insight on measures businesses can undertake to mitigate some of the perceived threats often understood to be ‘covered’ by a non-compete agreement. Nene discusses the potential impact on the valuation of non-competes from a financial reporting perspective, while Josh mentions the repercussions it might have on non competes in a litigation context.

| 27 Jul 2020 | Closing the Gap: Diversity and Inclusion in FVS, Part 1 | 00:17:51 | |
Guests: Jen Bao, CFA, Kathryn Byrne, CPA/CGMA, Rumbi Petrozzello, CPA/CFF & Kirstine Connors, CPA/ABV In the US, although CPAs are relatively balanced by gender, only 19% of firm partners are women. We see similar trends in the gender gap when it comes to specialized credentials, such as the ABV and CFF. The race gap in the CPA profession, unfortunately is one that stubbornly remains. Per a July 2019 Bloomberg article, of over 650,000 CPAs less than 1% are black and 7% are Hispanic. The race gap in the profession in general, flows through to a race gap in the specializations. Diversity and inclusion are key to future proofing our profession as well as our ABV and CFF specializations. As clients, markets and candidates have become more diverse, an inclusive workforce provides a means of sustaining innovation, improving global competency and tapping in to the buying power of a diverse global market. Studies show that companies with diverse management teams have higher revenues, outperform on profitability, and are more likely to have superior value creation. A pathway towards a more inclusive workforce includes a focus on recruitment AND retention. Jen Bao, Kathryn Byrne, Rumbi Petrozzello and Kirstine Connors discuss the “Women at Mazars” initiative and its success in recruiting and retaining diverse candidates. In this episode, they discuss:

Guests: Kelly Richmond Pope, PhD, CPA, Rumbi Petrozzello, CPA/CFF & Kirstine Connors, CPA/ABV Diversity and inclusion are key to future proofing our profession as well as our ABV and CFF specializations. As discussed in our last episode, a pathway towards a more inclusive workforce includes a focus on recruitment and retention. But how do we build the pipeline? How do we attract, retain and advance talent? High school programs need to build the pipeline, not only to the CPA, but also to the specializations, including CFFs and ABVs. University outreach programs need to build awareness of forensic and valuation career paths. CFF and ABV champions and mentor programs also help raise awareness and make connections. But what can these institutions and programs do to further diversity and inclusion?
