Why it's important your CPA is CGMA certified.

CFO Ghassan Ghraizi received
the CGMA designation.
ATLANTA, GA (FEB  2011)  

Started in January 2012, the CGMA (Chartered Global Management Accountant) certification is a global honor that can be bestowed on a Certified Public Accountant who passes the stringent qualifying exam.

The designation was the merger between the London based Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and  the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and was created to foster an understanding of the  vital  role accounting and financial institutions play in world economics.  The institutions also wanted to set in place a universally accepted quality gradient for an ever growing economically assimilated world.

The CGMA will also be heralded as something of a gold standard that small to  large companies can towards for when seeking business services.  This means that when a client utilizes the services of a CPA or CFO who has a CGMA designation, they can rest assured that:

• The accountant has passed a strict qualifying exam that is backed by AICPA-CIMA, two of largest financial governing bodies in the world.
• One can rest assured that CPA'S  and other certified accounting and business managers with the CGMA certification have to adhere to required codes of ethics and conduct.
• People who earned this certification take their jobs seriously and thus, will attempt to provide customers with top notch financial services.

In other words, those who endeavor to earn their CGMA title have decided to commit to a system of financial integrity and fiscal responsibility that greatly benefit business.

Ghassan R. Ghraizi of GBC SERVICES LLC has taken a step towards that level of care and commitment by recently earning his Chartered Global Management Accountant designation.

Ghassan R. Ghraizi  of GBC Services, LLC Authorized as Certifying Acceptance Agent for the IRS

GBC Services, LLC., has long been a leader in Atlanta's financial sector, providing stellar services in the realm of tax preparation, human resource management, business consulting  and payroll services.

Individuals who are most in need of an ITIN are: Non-residents who desire to file tax returns but are not SSN eligible, a U.S. resident alien (this classification is often based on the number of days one has been in the U.S.), dependent or spouse of a US citizen or resident immigrant who is not SSN eligible and for those who are dependents and spouses of a non-resident via holder.  Unless there is a special exception, all above individuals should have an ITIN.

As a Certifying Acceptance Agent with years of applied experience in the tax preparation field, Ghassan can help assist foreign nationals and immigrants who have to apply for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. 

Providing crucial financial services is what GBC Services, LLC., does best.  Now, as a newly appointed Certifying Acceptance Agent,  Ghassan R. Ghraizi can  also give foreign clients  support when it comes to putting down roots in a new land.– wc 306

An IRS audit can be stressful. Consider this article a bit of IRS assistance, a bit of wisdom to help you out if your business is experiencing an audit.

With that said, let us get into what you SHOULD do and what you SHOULD NOT do when you are running into some possible IRS trouble!

• All employees should be instructed not to talk to the IRS agent if the audit takes place at your place of business.
• 10 Days prior to the interview with the agent send him or her a formal letter stating you will be recording an audio of the interview. A special note to avid camera people, videos are not allowed.
• If the IRS audit brings up things you do not have the knowledge of, immediately seek out a CPA (certified public accountant) or attorney.
• Only give files to an IRS agent that is actually related to the IRS inquiry. By volunteering files or records, you may open up a whole new can of worms you would rather not have to deal with.
• Get a thorough understanding of your tax returns and then organize the files that support the items questioned by the IRS audit.
• Before the examination, come up with various settlements that you are comfortable accepting so you have backup plans to work with incase of any lingering IRS trouble.
• Do not be afraid to seek out good IRS representation, as this can save you a lot of time and money.

Some of these are pretty brutal. Because of these penalties, it is imperative you either understand what you are doing thoroughly or hire good IRS representation that does understand what they are doing.
