Cost segregation is a process that identifies assets associated with construction, renovation, or expansion projects that can be depreciated over shorter time periods than the overall building structure. This results in greater tax deductions in early years of a project. A cost segregation study reviews project plans and conducts on-site inspections to isolate assets that qualify for accelerated depreciation over 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, or 27.5 year periods. This careful segregation of property costs into shorter life classes provides substantial tax savings, especially in the first few years after a new or remodeled facility is occupied. Contacting the firm can provide an opportunity assessment and return on investment of 1-2% of
This document provides information on estate planning techniques to reduce estate taxes through shifting income tax liability. It discusses three examples: 1) Paying income tax on a minor's account to increase its value without gifting more assets. 2) Creating a defective trust where the grantor pays income tax, allowing the trust to accumulate tax-free. 3) Making a loan to a defective trust where the interest income and payments reduce the estate over time. The goal is to transfer wealth over generations while minimizing total tax liability.
PCI DSS is a globally recognized compliance standard that all organizations must follow whenever storing, processing, and transmitting credit card information.
This document provides information about business process improvement tools including understanding customer needs, creating value stream maps, performing value analysis, and taking action. It lists the steps for each tool: identifying customer output and requirements, mapping business processes and information flow, classifying process steps as value-added or non-value added, and eliminating non-value added activities.

One of the keys to financial security is to create and follow a sound financial or estate plan. There are several key components of effective estate planning. These include financial planning, educational planning, retirement planning, and the effective use of trusts.
Brown Smith Wallace has a wide variety of services including: audit, tax, advisory, transaction advisory and litigation support, insurance consulting, and small business (entrepreneurial) services.
Employer and Employee Costs for Various Health Plan TypesBrown Smith Wallace
The document discusses how more organizations may offer high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) due to the upcoming "Cadillac" tax in 2018 and new data showing that HDHPs have lower total costs than other plan types such as HMOs, PPOs, and POS plans. Specifically, the data from a 2014 survey shows that on average HDHPs have lower employer and employee contributions, resulting in total costs that are hundreds of dollars less per family or single coverage compared to other plan types.
The document discusses the key criteria to consider when evaluating cyber security insurance policies. Businesses should ensure their policy provides: 1) Coverage for state-of-the-art security measures; 2) Competitively priced coverage given rising costs; 3) Insurance for lost profits from cyber attacks. Contact Bill Goddard for advice on crafting an optimal cyber security insurance strategy.
The document discusses some of the tax challenges businesses are facing this tax season. Geri Boyer, founder of Kaskaskia Engineering Group, notes that tax extenders make tax planning more difficult this year than last due to some provisions being extended through 2019 while others are only through 2016. Darlene Sowell of Neighborhood Houses says her company's accounting system has improved with technological advances but records still need to be accurate for tax season. Both women emphasize relying on an outside CPA firm for tax preparation advice and questions about changes.
Since October 2015, merchant banks have taken the necessary steps to prevent fraud by issuing chip and pin cards to their customers. By putting these smart cards in consumers’ wallets, banks are shifting the liability of fraud from them to you, the merchant. These smart payment cards and the terminals that accept them are the new technical standard for card payment, and are often referred to as EMV.
Chip and Pin and Your Small Business discusses the importance of small businesses updating their point-of-sale systems to accept EMV chip cards. EMV chip cards store data on embedded microchips instead of magnetic strips, making them more secure against fraud. Credit card companies are implementing liability shifts that will hold businesses responsible for fraudulent charges if they don't adopt EMV processing technology by October 2015. Updating point-of-sale systems to accept EMV payments will help businesses remain secure, compliant with payment regulations, and reduce the risk of fraud.
Risk is a factor in all businesses and needs to be properly assessed and managed. An enterprise risk management (ERM) program can help identify potential risks, assess their impact, and help manage known and unknown risks. To implement an effective ERM program, a company should: 1) Ask employees to identify risks, 2) Determine the company's risk management maturity, 3) Set short- and long-term objectives, 4) Perform risk assessments to identify internal and external risks and opportunities, 5) Determine risk responses like avoiding, accepting, reducing or sharing risks, 6) Design control activities to ensure risk responses are carried out, 7) Communicate risk information to employees, and 8) Continuously monitor the business environment and risk
