Nearly 70 percent of organizations that have furloughed or laid off their employees during the novel coronavirus pandemic plan to back-fill the roles that were eliminated with other employees taking over, according to a new survey, and nearly half (46 percent) of respondents in accounting and finance indicated that their department would definitely back-fill roles that were eliminated during the pandemic.
The survey, by the staffing company Adecco, which runs Accounting Principals, polled 1,152 hiring decision-makers and managers, and found that nearly 86 percent of general respondents said they plan to back-fill roles in less than a year and 61 percent plan to do so in less than six months.
Many things are taking place:

Under Armour faces new allegations of fraudulent accounting in amended shareholder lawsuit -
Under Armour founder Kevin Plank resorted to "sales tricks" and improper accounting to attain unrealistic sales goals as the brand's popularity faded, shareholders allege in a revised class-action lawsuit.
New allegations in a lawsuit initially filed three years ago say the company and Plank, as the sports apparel maker's then CEO, violated federal securities laws to mask a slowdown after a streak of 26 consecutive quarters of at least 20% growth ended abruptly in late 2016.
Art of Accounting: 2 days of free CPE last week | Accounting Today
Last week I spent parts of two days at the Accounting & Finance Show USA and, from what I could tell, it was very well attended and organized and the virtual meetings were held without any hitches.
I attended these programs in person during the last two years. When I received the promo material, there were many choices at every concurrent session. I found it difficult to narrow it down, but I did. Without realizing it, I chose six sessions from six different areas and found that, in itself, very interesting. Here is a rundown of what I took and the reasons for it. Each session was one hour.
And here's another article:

New twists in year-end tax planning | Accounting Today
If suggested end-of-year strategies are a little different this year, it's because the year itself was different. What began as a normal filing season was extended to July 15, 2020, and other ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic — quarantine in place, working from home, CARES Act legislative issues, social turmoil, all with a hugely meaningful election on the horizon — saw to that. And that's without mentioning the election that we're on the cusp of.
Because COVID-19 has made this a bad year for many businesses, the traditional year-end tax planning strategies may not make sense, according to tax attorney Barbara Weltman, author of "J.K. Lasser's Small Business Taxes 2021."
Developing accounting methods for land cover changes — European Environment Agency
Do something for our planet, print this page only if needed. Even a small action can make an enormous difference when millions of people do it!
* * *
Land accounting — including harmonised datasets, transparent methodologies and easily interpretable statistics — is needed for land-related policies that aim to address climate, biodiversity or other sustainability challenges. Land accounting can show, for example, how much land has been converted to urban areas and changes in arable land or forests. In many cases, satellite data, such as those provided by Copernicus , can support the monitoring of changes in land use, the EEA briefing notes.
SEC and DOJ Parallel Charges for Accounting Fraud
The number of public company and accounting fraud cases filed under SEC Chair Jay Clayton has declined. The SEC, however, continues to selectively pursue these types of cases. In the latest example, in aggressive parallel actions, on October 8, 2020, the SEC filed charges against SAExploration Holdings, Inc.
In February 2020, SAE issued restated financial statements reaching as far back as 2014 which, among other things, corrected a $100 million overstatement of revenue and resulted in a $35 million reduction in the value of the company's assets. Perhaps unsurprisingly, in August 2002, SAE filed a voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition in the Southern District of Texas.
