Ponzi schemes and the London riots: from white-collar crime to city grime
The Ponzi scheme still plague international enterprise today despite its prevalence throughout history and the examples it has made globally of greedy financiers and unsuspecting investors. The ultimate lasting cause of the long existence of the Ponzi scheme is the vulnerability of the modern consumer: from the appeal of the promised investment opportunity, to the economic climate during which the scheme is implemented, to the seemingly (and in reality) unreal returns it produces. Those who commandeer the Ponzi scheme range from someone who has a substantial financial background, establishing a level of credibility suitable for substantive investment to those who are relative novices, but somehow garner immediate attention. While the development of a Ponzi scheme lies in the hands of the white-collar thieves who pilot them, the lasting continuation of this type of fraud lies with those who make the decision to invest.

Elder Financial Abuse Is a Growing Problem: CPAs Can Help Prevent It
Some have investable assets of over $500,000; however, due to the income gap, the average net worth (excluding home equity) for Americans age 55-64 is only $61,390.2 Therefore, for many, Social Security benefits are a valuable source of income. Because of the diversity of this generation's financial situations, elder abuse takes many forms. According to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, between October 2013 and September 2018, more than 2.4 million Americans were targeted by scammers impersonating IRS officials. * Internet fraud - Bogus virus-scanning software, malicious emails, and phishing scams are among the most common efforts targeting senior citizens. According to the June 2011 MetLife Study of Elder Financial Abuse, more than 50 percent of all cases of senior financial abuse involve someone close to the victim. According to the June 2018 Elder Financial Exploitation prepared by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, for every documented case of elder financial exploitation, 44 went unreported.

Dive Right into Social Media
As CPAs, their businesses are about relationships and people. And as the Industrial Revolution at the digital age show them, when technology changes, so do relationships. Ultimately their success is measured by the service they provide and the relationships they have with their peers and their clients. In the same way the Industrial Revolution saw unprecedented change to economies worldwide, a social media revolution is changing how CPAs obtain business, conduct business, and how their information travels. Erik Qualman, author of Socialnomics: How Social Media Transforms the Way We Live and Do Business, points out that the social media boom is not about technology; it is about relationships and people. He also points out that companies no longer have a choice as to whether they do social media; they only have a choice in how well they do it. It is incumbent, therefore, on all CPAs to understand social media and stay on it, as it is a constantly changing force.
