What are your thoughts on major accounting firms “strongly” suggesting contributions to the AICPA PAC? Feels like compelled speech to me.

Haven’t heard this but I’d absolutely ignore that and laugh in their face. Then I’d donate to any campaign Bernie Sanders is running on behalf of the firm

EY2, I received your original response which was sexist and condescending. We can have civil discourse. But yes, I could just buck the request to contribute knowing full well I could be labeled as not a team player or difficult to work with. I don’t think firms should ask their partners or employees to donate to a political cause ever. Even if it’s in our best interest. If it’s truly in my interest I won’t need to be asked.

funny

I have never given a penny to the EY or AICPA PAC. That should be the partners responsibility

Passssssssssssss

Most firms believe the AICPA PAC is the most efficient means to support the industry issues with government regulators. As a CPA, you should have interest, but most people don't care individually until it impacts their pocket book

just don’t do it if you don’t want to.

Need some advice on renting here in ATX.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing. The home leaked every time it rained, mold was found in the home & the LL failed to make repairs that resulted in me falling down a flight of stairs. I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below
