An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Pass the Price Gouging Prevention Act (S. 3803 / H.R. 7390

1,047 so far! Help us get to 2,000 signers!

Of all the responses to the economic upheavals of the pandemic, price gouging has got to be one of the most egregious. This is when prices go up, or continue to stay high, not due to market pressures or other economic factors, but only because the seller, renter, or provider wants to increase their already excessive profits.

Some CEOs have even bragged to their shareholders about how much their profit-making pricing strategies exceed their inflationary increases in production costs.

To fight back against what they call “greedflation,” Senator Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Jan Schakowsky have reintroduced their Price Gouging Prevention Act (S. 3803 / H.R. 7390) and are now seeking co-sponsors for the bills.

As your constituent, I would like to urge you to co-sponsor and pass this bill. It has several important features: It will prohibit price gouging on a nationwide basis; it will take aim at companies that have taken advantage of the pandemic to jack up prices unnecessarily and keep them up; it will focus on companies whose executives brag to shareholders about increasing prices faster than inflationary costs; it will require public disclosure of companies’ costs and pricing strategies, and it will increase the FTC’s funding to enforce these conditions.

Thank you for considering co-sponsoring the Price Gouging Prevention Act.

Public Interest Litigation should not be Personal Interest Litigation

Public Interest Litigation is an initiation of a legal action in a court of law for the enforcement of public interest where legal rights and liabilities of the public or a particular class of the public is affected. Before entertaining a PIL court sees the seriousness of the petitioner as to whether he is actually the champion of the cause of the persons or group he is representing if the answer is otherwise Court dismisses the PIL.

Mahant Dinesh Das v. State of UP & 5 Others

Public Interest Litigation 1904/2023

The Bench of Hon’ble Mr.Chief Justice Pritinker Diwaker J & Hon’ble Mr. Justice Ashutosh Srivastava J dismissed the PIL with cost of Rs. 50,000/-.

Facts:

The Public Interest Litigation petition was seeking a direction to the State for removal of unauthorized occupation over the land/ property of Shri Tahkur Ji Saket Bihari Mandir, Ramkola Road, Padrauna and also for a direction to take appropriate decision on the representation dated 24.11.2022 of the petitioner.

Observation of the Court

It appears that the petitioner is Mahant of Shri Tahkur Ji Saket Bihari Mandir, Ramkola Road, Padrauna, and present petition is personal interest litigation and not a Public Interest Litigation and it is an abuse of process of law.

Exploring Accountancy Professional Ethics

Welcome to our guide on Accountancy Professional Ethics! In the world of finance, ethics is like the compass that guides professionals in making the right choices. In this easy-to-understand article, we will take you on a journey to understand the importance of Accountancy Professional Ethics and why it matters.

What Are Accountancy Professional Ethics?

Imagine you're entrusted with sensitive financial information. You're like the guardian of a company's financial secrets. Accountancy Professional Ethics, or simply ethics in accounting, is all about being a trustworthy guardian. It means doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.

Imagine you find something fishy in the company's finances. Even if it involves your own company, your ethical duty is to report it to the right people.

Scenario 2: Conflict of Interest

Picture this: you're an accountant in a company, and your cousin wants you to give their business special treatment. It's a tough spot, but ethics say you must stay fair.

Scenario 3: Whistleblowing

Sometimes, there's trouble brewing in a company. If you discover wrongdoing, like fraud or cheating, blowing the whistle is the right thing to do. It protects the public and shareholders.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What's the point of ethics in accounting? Ethics ensure that accountants act honestly, responsibly, and transparently, which keeps the financial world trustworthy.

How does ethics affect the financial world? Ethics keeps the financial world stable and prevents fraud and scandals.

What happens if accountants don't follow ethics? Ignoring ethics can lead to legal trouble, loss of trust, a damaged reputation, and financial instability.

Should accountants keep client info secret? Definitely. It's like being a superhero with a secret identity.

Conclusion

In a world driven by numbers and money, Accountancy Professional Ethics is the unsung hero. It ensures that the financial world remains a place of trust and integrity. Every financial professional is a guardian of these ethics, and by upholding them, they protect the financial well-being of individuals, companies, and the entire global economy.

Experts Warn of Crucial Need for Regulations in Washington DC

Experts are warning of the crucial need for regulations in Washington DC to ensure that the government operates ethically and in the best interest of the American people. According to a recent report by the Center for Responsive Politics, there are significant gaps in regulations that allow for corruption and undue influence in the nation's capital.

The report highlights the problem of "revolving doors" in which government officials leave their positions to work for corporations that they once regulated, creating conflicts of interest and potential for abuse. The lack of restrictions on campaign finance also allows for wealthy donors to wield disproportionate influence over elected officials, further eroding trust in government.

"Without strong regulations, the American people will continue to lose faith in their government and the democratic process," said John Smith, an expert in government ethics. "We need rules that prevent politicians from being bought and sold by special interests and ensure that public officials are held accountable for their actions."

Recent scandals, such as the lobbying scandal involving former Representative Duke Cunningham and the conviction of former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, have underscored the urgent need for reform. In both cases, individuals with significant financial interests were able to manipulate the political process to their advantage.

Critics argue that regulations will stifle innovation and hamper economic growth, but supporters say that these concerns are unfounded. They point to countries with strong regulatory frameworks, such as Denmark and Sweden, which have high levels of economic growth and innovation.

"If we want to restore faith in government and create a fair and just society, we need to act now," said Jane Smith, a political reform advocate. "Regulations are not a burden, but a necessary safeguard against abuses of power."

An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Pass a bill to make Trump’s trial viewable by ALL Americans!

1,333 so far! Help us get to 2,000 signers!

I understand that the Senate just passed a bill, S. 3250, to permit victims of crimes associated with the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 to access court proceedings in the criminal case against the perpetrators. This new law will mean that affected people who are too old or infirm to travel to Washington, D.C., or those who are too far away to readily make the trip will still be able to observe court proceedings. Prosecutors at the Justice Department supported the move because they thought it was important for people affected by the crime to see justice in action. They are correct. Bearing this precedent in mind, I would like Congress to swiftly pass a similar bill for Trump’s prosecution for interference in the 2020 election. This case, United States v. Donald J. Trump, is of even more singular importance than the Lockerbie case. If such access can be offered for those victims it can be offered to the American people for a trial in which they have a distinct and unparalleled interest. This is one of the most important court cases this country will ever see. It is in the best interests of every US citizen to provide full access to it. There are, furthermore, no compelling reasons not to do so. Please introduce and/or support such a bill right away. People will be able to learn more about the arguments being made and it is more difficult to pass off disinformation about a proceeding that the public has full access to. Thanks.
