The FTC’s Red Flags Rule wasdesigned to help prevent identity theftand was promulgated under the Fairand Accurate Credit Transactions Act of2003.
The Red Flags Rule has beenrepeatedly delayed and most recentlywas blocked by court order on Oct. 30insofar as it would apply to lawyers andlaw firms.

Payment Processing Technologies Save Time and Moneyby Randy Johnston, K2 Enterprises
Businesses of all types still haveareas in which they can becomemore efficient. The way a businessmakes and receives payments iscertainly one of these areas.Payment processing technologiesautomate the receipt of paymentsinto accounting software, savingthe time and expense otherwiserequired to manually enterpayment. Once you understand theconvenience, you are likely torecommend this to your clientsand other associates.
Payment integration authorizesand processes credit cardtransactions and ACH entries whileupdating sales orders and accountsreceivable, which helps you tostreamline bank reconciliation.Businesses need only to swipe orenter data once, eliminatingdouble entry and data entry errors.
This time saving integration canalso be set-up to automaticallybatch out and settle merchantaccount transactions daily.
Time savings and ease for yourclients
Handling inbound andoutbound payments is a time-consuming task for mostbusinesses. In personal affairs, howmany individuals use automaticdeposit of paychecks? Nowconsider the advantages of doingthe same for a business. Processingrates are cheaper than the laborcosts associated with manual entryand collected funds are availablesooner for your business. Further,the cost for electronically makingor receiving payments hasdecreased dramatically. As anexample, Sage Payment Solutionscan handle automated payments
from most systems, including ACH,checks, and credit or debit cards.
Some businesses use lock boxservices to eliminate handlingitems. Others have madeagreements with a local bankwhere you pay a specified amountper item, and, in turn, receiveequipment to scan checks,eliminating the need to make aphysical deposit. How does thebank handle the transaction fromthere? Does the business receive afile to import into the accountingsystem? Does the business have toenter data to record the paymentsreceived? There has been a growingneed among businesses for theability to accept payments fromwithin their software applicationsand have those payments updatetheir books.

Payment integration withaccounting software makes sense
In an ideal world, a businesswould not have employeesmanually entering paymentsreceived. The accounting softwarealready knows the balance owed. Ifthe business receives a payment viacredit or debit card, why shouldn’tthe accounting software match thetransaction and make this entry foryou? Some vendors have doneexactly that. For example, Sage hasintegrated payment acceptancewith its core accounting andbusiness software. This integratedsolution can support retail, mailorder, telephone order andInternet-based transactions. ManySage software products integratewith Sage Payment Solutions toprovide a seamless datainterchange between payments andaccounting without leaving the
application and eliminating theneed for a third party paymentprocessor. Sage Payment Solutionsintegrates with the following Sageproducts: Peachtree by Sage,Simply Accounting, Sage MAS 90,200, and 500, Sage Fundraising 50& 100, Sage Millennium, SageAccpac, DacEasy by Sage, Sage Pro,Sage BusinessWorks, and SageIntergy EHR. You can request moreinformation on Sage integration atwww.sagepayments.com/cpa. Thereare similar integrations availablefor Intuit QuickBooks and theMicrosoft Dynamics lines.
The key here is that regardless ofyour accounting software, you cansave money and time by using anautomated system to receivepayments. If you haven’tinvestigated your options recently,you’ll be pleased with theconvenience and pricing of thesesolutions. Implement a paymentsolution to stop wasting your firm’stime and money.

For CPAs, Cloud Computing Is Available NowThe future is now for Louisiana-
based CPA, John Blackstock, a partnerin the national B2B CFO® firm, whichprovides outsourced CFO services toseveral of its clients. “I’ve always been afan of SaaS solutions, but I’ve beenwaiting for the market to mature,” heexplains. Blackstock’s firm was amongthe first to join the Intacct AccountantsProgram by CPA2Biz, a subsidiary ofthe American Institute of CertifiedPublic Accountants (AICPA). Intacct is aleading provider of on-demandfinancial management and accountingapplications, while SaaS is the acronymfor Software as a Service, a softwaredeployment model whereby anapplication is licensed to customers foruse as a service on demand.
With the Intacct AccountantsProgram, a CPA firm and its clients caninput financial documents, which can
then be examined via a secure Internetconnection. It includes acomprehensive set of Web-based,always up-to-date accounting andfinancial applications. “As anoutsourced CFO, my focus is on theprofitability and cash flow of thecompanies I work with,” Blackstockexplains. “The Intacct AccountantsProgram allows me to provide myclients with a flexible and robust onlineaccounting system, particularly for cashflow planning and other forward-looking business planning activities.”
While the Intacct AccountantsProgram is aimed at meeting the needsof accounting firms of all sizes, it hasspecific elements geared to small- andmedium-size firms. They include liveand online training, technical supportand flexible pricing. Small accountingfirms can participate in the program for
as little as $1,500 a year, which includesfull access to the cloud-based financialapplications.

financial advice, and help clients makefaster, smarter business decisions.
Michael Cerami, vice president ofcorporate alliances at CPA2Biz, saysthat the new program raises thevisibility of client accounting services,which historically have not garneredthe same level of visibility as a firm's
audit and tax services. “With this newprogram we expect to change that byenabling CPAs to elevate themselves asreal-time trusted advisers, instead ofafter-the-fact financial statementproviders," explains Cerami. “TheIntacct Accountants Program eliminatesmany of the headaches inherent toclient accounting services, such asstaffing and technological challenges,
managing multiple versions of software,security risks in data sharing, time lostin travel to access client data, and a lagin timely financial information thatinhibits just-in-time businessdecisions.”
