Phishing Gets Really Nasty

 Phishing attacks directed at businesses appear to be on the rise.

An email comes in asking for a payment on a contract with wiring instructions included, except the instructions are phony.

Or an email arrives asking for a change in payment routing information on a real vendor, but the new routing information goes to a thief.

Defense:

Employees should always check with superiors before accepting such changes.

Any payment activity, especially large sums, should be subject to multiple checks and double checks.

Now Is The Time

 Now is the time to start getting ready for your 2023 income tax returns.

Yes, now.

The cleaner your bookkeeping the easier the tax return.

Study your 2022 tax return to determine what information is needed and reflect on how easy it was to deliver information to your CPA or EA.

Now really is the time.
