Read the excerpt and answer the question: "Research on
bilingual education consistently demonstrates that
students who develop strong literacy skills in their first
language acquire a second language more efficiently, a
phenomenon linguists refer to as cross-linguistic transfer.
Contrary to popular assumptions, maintaining and
strengthening the mother tongue does not hinder foreign
language acquisition; rather, it provides cognitive
scaffolding upon which new linguistic knowledge is
systematically built. Policies that disregard first-language
literacy in favor of exclusive second-language immersion
may therefore undermine the bilingual development they
seek to promote." The passage's central argument is that
first-language literacy:

Why Audits Fail: A Story of Missteps and Lessons Learned
24 January 2025
Let's look at three common reasons why audits fall apart and see what we can learn from them.
1. _[subtítulo]_
Picture an auditor walking into a company with a checklist and a laptop, ready to make sense of the chaos. But instead of finding
clarity, they're handed a series of false assumptions. Maybe management paints an overly rosy picture of their processes. Or
worse, the evidence provided is incomplete or outright fabricated. Imagine the frustration of trying to solve a puzzle when pieces
are deliberately hidden or swapped out.
Sometimes it's not malicious - management might not even realize their statements are misleading. But the result is the same:
the auditor can't do theirjob, and critical issues go unnoticed.
2. A Lack of Skilled Resources
Now imagine the audit team itself. Maybe they're new, overwhelmed, or simply don't have the expertise needed to navigate the
complexities of this organization. Instead of spotting red flags, they miss them - or worse, don't even know where to look.
Auditing isn't easy. It takes specialized knowledge to dig into systems, spot gaps in controls, and interpret what the data is really
saying. Without skilled resources, even the most thorough audit plan can fall apart.
3. No Support from the Organization
Finally, imagine the company itself. The audit team asks for access to critical systems but gets stuck waiting for approval.
Employees avoid answering questions because they're either too busy or worried about saying the wrong thing. The systems in place are outdated, making it impossible to track down reliable data. At this point, it's like the auditor is running a race with their
shoelaces tied together.
Auditors can't succeed without support. They need access to systems, cooperation from employees, and tools that make their job
easier -not harder. When the organization doesn't provide this support, even the most well-intentioned audit is doomed.
How to Avoid a Failed Audit
So, how can we change the ending to this story? It comes down to preparation and collaboration. Here are a few things every
organization can do:
- Be Transparent: Don't hide problems. Audits are there to help, not punish.
- Invest in Skills: Train your audit team and give them the tools they need to succeed.
- Foster a Supportive Culture: Make sure employees see audits as opportunities for growth, not something to fear.

When tax bills are in the millions or even billions, some individuals will go to any lengths to avoid paying up
RS, HMRC, FTS or CRA: whatever you like to call him, there's no hiding from the taxman. No individual or institution is immune from
the annual tax deadline, although many aim to reduce what they pay as much as possible through regulatory loopholes and profit
redistribution schemes.
When that tips over into illegal territory, though, it becomes a major problem. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that
over $600bn is lost every year due to tax avoidance, with the US, China and Japan named as the greatest culprits.
Multinational technology companies including Google, Apple and Amazon have been slapped with multiple allegations in recent years
regarding non-payment of taxes in Europe. In 2016, Apple was ordered to pay $15.4bn in back taxes to Ireland after it was revealed
that the company paid just one percent tax on its European profits in 2003, down to 0.005 percent in 2014. That same year Google was
accused of using two regulatory loopholes, nicknamed the 'double Irish', allowing it to pay just six percent corporation tax rather than
the required 19.3 percent.
The Double Irish arrangement was a base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) corporate tax avoidance tool used mainly by United States
multinationals since the late 1980s to avoid corporate taxation on non-US profits. (The US was one of a small number of countries that
did not use a "territorial" tax system, and taxed corporations on all profits, no matter whether the profit was made outside the US or not,
in contrast to "territorial" tax systems which tax only profits made within that country.) It was the largest tax avoidance tool in history. By
2010, it was shielding US$100 billion annually in US multinational foreign profits from taxation, and was the main tool by which US
multinationals built up untaxed offshore reserves of US$1 trillion from 2004 to 2018.
Despite US knowledge of the Double Irish for a decade, it was the European Commission that in October 2014 forced Ireland to close
the scheme, starting in January 2015. However, users of existing schemes, such as Apple, Google, Facebook and Pfizer, were given
until January 2020 to close them.
At the announcement of the closure, it was known that multinationals had replacement BEPS tools in Ireland, the Single Malt (2014),
and Capital Allowances for Intangible Assets (CAIA) (2009):
-Single malt is almost identical to the Double Irish, and was identified with Microsoft (Linkedln), and Allergan in 2017;
-CAIA can provide up to twice the tax shield of Single Malt, or Double Irish, and was identified with Apple in the 2015 leprechaun
economics affair, i.e., a huge statistical distortion in Ireland's GDP caused by Apple's tax restructuring. The company transferred
intangible assets to its Irish subsidiary, which artificially inflated the country's GDP by more than 26.3% in a single year (later
revised to 24.6%), an absurd leap for a relatively small economy. This growth did not reflect real production, but rather Apple's tax
inversion of about US$ 300 billion of its intangible assets (mainly intellectual property) to Ireland.

Artificial Intelligence in Accounting and Auditing
Federica De Santis
27 October 2024
The labor-intensive and repetitive nature of auditing tasks, combined with strict compliance requirements, make auditing an
ideal area for the integration of digital technologies like artificial intelligence (Al). Al offers significant potential for auditors, enabling
them to accelerate auditing tasks, minimize human errors and bias, overcome sampling limitations, examine entire transaction
populations, and lower audit costs. Nonetheless, similar to any innovation in professional practices, the adoption of Al in auditing
poses unique challenges for both professionals and policymakers. These challenges mainly pertain to auditors' readiness for
technological advancements, their willingness to adapt their approach to audit tasks, and the ethical considerations of utilizing Al in
their work.

Defining the Role of a Tax Auditor
The core function of a tax auditor is to examine financial records and supporting documentation against the figures reported on
official returns, whether for individuals or corporations. This examination seeks to verify every line item, from gross receipts and
reported income to specific deductions claimed for ordinary and necessary business expenses. A primary goal is to confirm that the
taxpayer's stated liability aligns precisely with the relevant federal or state tax law.
The auditor works to identify discrepancies or misapplications of the law that may lead to an underpayment of taxes due. They
scrutinize documentation that supports deductions, such as receipts for depreciation claimed or substantiation for charitable
contributions. The auditor ultimately determines if the taxpayer owes additional tax, is due a refund, or if the return is accurate as filed.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a game-changer
in the public sector that is significantly improving financial
accountability and governance. The implementation of AI
technologies can lead to improved decision making, more
efficient operations, and increased accountability and
transparency in financial operations. For example, the integrity of
financial systems has been notably enhanced through the
application of artificial intelligence in areas such as fraud
detection, regulatory compliance, and risk assessment. However,
the implementation of artificial intelligence systems also
introduces some challenges, including the need for strong
frameworks to ensure accountability and trust in these systems,
as well as ethical considerations and problems related to data
governance. Furthermore, integrating artificial intelligence within
the public sector needs a comprehensive strategy that involves
ethical considerations and scientific progress.
It is important to address potential issues that are related
to algorithmic bias, lack of transparency, and accountability in
order to build public trust in government operations that are
driven by AI. Therefore, it is important to develop ethical
guidelines and governance frameworks that guide the appropriate
use of artificial intelligence in financial decision making,
ensuring that these technologies serve the public good. The
relationship between AI, financial responsibility, and governance
is a key area for the formulation of policies, as governments seek
to use the potential of AI while maintaining democratic values
and public trust.
