Regulation: problems or opportunities?

Article Abstract:

Private investing has become a complicated undertaking because of the many changes in the savings market, especially in the areas of technology, regulation, and consumerism. One of the reasons for the growing complication of personal investment is the savings market that has come to be composed of many segments which remain to be regulated by different bodies. Investing has also come to require sophisticated technology that many private investors would not be able to afford. Another area of difficulty in private investing is the determination of fees, disclosures, and commissions of financial advisers. These new developments in the savings market have created new customer needs that responsive accountants can address.

Who cares?

Article Abstract:

Accountants who fail to pay attention to their clients' needs run the risk of losing these clients. Studies indicate that most clients would like to receive more pro-active advice and more aggressive development of their business. These clients are also likely to have needs that may not fall within the traditional scope of the accounting practice. Accountants who ignore these needs pass up the chance of discovering new potential business opportunities. Competition within the accounting profession is intensifying, pointing to a greater need for accounting firms to understand the marketplace as well as their client base.
