Tax Guru-Ker$tetter Letter

Monday, June 12, 2006

India picks up accounting work as part of outsource trend – More on an issue I have discussed on several occasions.

I still think it’s a good idea for tax and accounting firms that don’t farm their work out to other countries to explicitly state that fact in their promotional and advertising materials. Since I doubt that most clients are aware of the extent to which accounting firms are using Indian sub-contractors, having that item mentioned in firm literature should hopefully make them more aware to the point that they come out and ask firms that don’t cover it and expose those that are keeping their use of Indian outsourcing a secret.

Of course, if USA firms openly disclose their use of outsourcing to current and potential clients, and those clients have no problem with that fact, there should be no problems.
