70% of Businesses Want a Single Payment Provider According to New Mercator Advisory Group Survey

According to a recent survey conducted by leading independent research and advisory firm Mercator Advisory Group, 73 percent of small businesses said they would prefer to deal with one vendor for their payment acceptance services. However, at least 25 percent of these businesses are still engaging with multiple payment providers, which adds complexity to the process and negatively impacts their bottom line.

The reality of today's business environment means that using multiple payment providers will actually drain organizational resources because each vendor brings more logistical and technical issues to the payments process. Now through a single integration, BlueSnap offers businesses struggling with this issue a proven solution to ease the pain points of dealing with several payment providers. Businesses no longer have to rely on several payment vendors to grow their business.

"We hear from businesses that they constantly need to integrate to different payment solutions to address their growing needs either because their customers want different payment methods or they are expanding internationally," said Ralph Dangelmaier, CEO of BlueSnap. "As a result, their valuable development resources are spent developing new integrations and managing their payment solution cluster. Also, they spend too much time reconciling different accounts using inconsistent reporting formats and data points. The All-in-one Payment Platform increases sales and reduces costs through one easy integration bringing more value for domestic and global clients."

BlueSnap has developed All-in-one Payment Platform to save businesses time, money, and developer resources. Through this single-integration solution, BlueSnap provides businesses with:

"Additionally, in direct interviews we have conducted, businesses of all sizes across vertical markets express their preference for a single vendor platform."

New Cornerstone Research Report Highlights Regulatory Actions Involving Accountants

Finalized actions by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board involving accountants declined slightly to 75 in 2017 from 79 in the previous year. According to a new report by Cornerstone Research, however, there were notable differences in the actions finalized by the SEC and PCAOB.

The first-of-its-kind report, Regulatory Actions Involving Accountants, shows that the number of finalized SEC actions against auditors and audit firms in 2017 was only half of the 2016 total, while increased actions against auditors and audit firms of brokers and dealers drove PCAOB enforcement to its highest level.

Overall, the SEC finalized a total of 40 enforcement actions involving accountants (CPAs employed by SEC registrants, auditors, and audit firms) in 2017, a decline of more than 20 percent from the 51 finalized actions in 2016. The SEC finalized only 13 actions related to the performance of audits of issuers and brokers and dealers compared to 26 in each of the previous two years—a primary reason for the overall decline in 2017.

The PCAOB finalized 35 actions in 2017, up from 28 in the previous year and the highest level in its history. The rise was in large part due to increased actions against auditors and audit firms of brokers and dealers. The PCAOB has disciplinary authority over auditors and audit firms and the performance of audits as a result of the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

"For accountants, resolving an SEC or PCAOB action is typically not the end of the story," said Elaine Harwood, a Cornerstone Research vice president and head of the firm's accounting practice. "In the states we studied, the majority of SEC and PCAOB actions led to a state follow-on action, despite the fact that an accountant did not admit to the charges and even when the accountant's license was inactive."

The majority of SEC and PCAOB actions finalized in 2012–2016 resulted in a follow-on enforcement action by a state board of accountancy in the top six states. Of the 174 SEC and PCAOB enforcement actions finalized in 2012–2016, 93 resulted in state follow-on actions. Enforcement actions involving accountants can sometimes take up to six years when there is a state follow-on action. Auditors and audit firms are more likely to be subject to a state follow-on action than non-auditor CPAs.
