Methods

A type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation design will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of STRIPES and explore the intervention’s implementability. Analyses will test the impact of STRIPES vs. enhanced school services control on target …

In-House Preparation, Outsourcing, Or Offshoring Of Tax Services To Third-Party Service Providers: Does Disclosure To The Client Matter?, Renu Desai, Vikram Desai, Julia Davidyan, Andrew Felo

HCBE Faculty Articles

The AICPA’s Code of Professional Conduct (the “Code”) requires that if a member intends to use the services of a third party service provider (TPSP), the client should be informed. However, the wording in the Code is not mandatory via the use of must. In addition, there is no differentiation between disclosures of outsourcing tax return preparation versus offshoring tax return preparation. This could be considered a significant area of concern because there are ethical considerations with disclosure, or lack thereof, and the economic considerations involved in offshoring of returns that are distinctly different from outsourcing returns within the U.S. …

Mental Health Intervention In The Workplace Amidst The Covid-19 Pandemic, Tayarka Kendrick, James B. Artley, Bahaudin G. Mujtaba

HCBE Faculty Articles

The purpose of this project is to examine why the mental health of employees should be prioritized in the workplace.

It is easier to identify these physical ailments that may adversely affect an employee’s performance at work, such as a broken leg or the common cold. However, there are conditions that are much less visible that negatively impact employees every day, and mental health is one of them. A person’s mental health is a significant factor in their work life that should not be …

The FTC Franchise Rule is not the only law regulating franchise relationships. Many states also have versions of disclosure laws or laws requiring fair dealing. The states with fair dealing regulations enforce state-based legal obligations on the franchisor that cannot be modified by the contractual terms. The intersection of federal law with the array of state regulations make the issuance of a franchise complex. A company should not …
