The Updates from NY Albany on Rule Making catching up on the 2nd quarter and this weeks updates.


In DRAFT (technical corrections edit pending) but the sentiment is here:

DCarsonCPA The Week in the Empire Line - the Updates that guide the Executive Branch  Departments and Agencies as one element of Our line into the updates that matter for Decision Makers in Industry, Non Profit, Government and Individual / Family roles in Financial Decision Making.

A line for Decision Makers in the Empire State where we note that at the end of each day the  Industry, Governance and Non Profit Lines ultimately revert to Individuals and Family lines on Decision Making where we ALL meet in the Economy as stakeholders in common.

In this challenging week of the National Government Shutdown I know many of us have taken pride in the ability of State and Local Government to hold the grounds and do as much as they do to keep the Economy moving. It's a shame and a challenge that in this most critical time in the Economy when the winds of recovery first appeared to be stirring that we had to experience together the financial drama and uncertainty if shut down and high stakes gambling with Our Financials.

The Economic recovery is essential for the Nation and the priority needs to be to meet in the middle and re-prioritize to do what's right to put the Nation back to work. There's a dry air in watching the economic data freeze up and seeing the flow of the data wind down. As one who deeply enjoys economic research and following the lines of the Economy in motion it's a strange sensation to see the data lines dry up but the States and the membership lines of State Governance across the branches have done an admirable job of keeping levels of data flowing, Maybe there exists a risk that we will learn that the state governments and governors, legislators and judicial branches can do more than was expected which might indicate some new lines on opportunities for savings in potential. The States primary challenges being more limited to the lines of funding Public Pensions and in New York or at least in the City the other point on the line is the issues on Health Care beyoud the federal issues being the many closings of NYC Hospitals which are not a very comforting trend in the aggregate when you consider the amount of people. There's not enough being seen or heard on Hospital Economics in NYC - like the MTA it seems to exist on the Edge of awareness but the need for a sufficient line of NYC Hospitals and Healthcare is one of those issues that we all  should be a little better tuned into for the needs Today and Tomorrow.

The purpose of the Empire Line is to cover 2 key points - the first points are that decision making in Albany guides the  lines of State Taxation, Economics, Policy, Regulations for Banks, Insurance, Healthcare, Real Estate and many more important lines. Central to the needs of Industry, Non Profits, Governance and Individual / Families the pathway to be informed and ready for the changing lines of needs and in the aggregate an opportunity to remain attuned to decision making that will influence Taxation and help us all to maintain a better informed line of decision making where we meet in common as stakeholders in the Economy.

It's not uncommon that we all are tuned into the day to day lines of our the work lines there are important points where we meet on decision making that benefit from the support of informed decision making. We believe that reconnecting to those lines is important because at the final analysis the decision making reflects in Tax Policy which impacts the Economy and present and future opportunities, health, retirement and other lines.

We take pride in the family roots that go back to New Amsterdam and the knowledge that ancestors played key roles in the foundation of the state and did their part to help in the formation of the Nation - no difference than your key role today in valuing what we all share in common and each day working in your way to help and contribute to what makes the Empire State really great as a unique place where we all meet and make it happen and the lines of our difference experiences bring us strength when we come together  with the lines of what has always made the Empire State a great state. A meeting point of views and ways that we all come together and with our differences and similarities somehow manage to move it all forward.

Considering 8.7 Million People in NYC and how many more in the overall state - it's an amazing tribute to the way we can all work together on problem solving and being well informed on the NYS Economy, NYC and the updates is a way that we can all work together in support of decision makers to help make it be the best it can be. If we don't pitch in with that small part of it - then we can't very much complain if the outcome maps against us as on any line of thought the key point is to remain involved to help on ideas.

If that is to your interest than the knowledge we share that exists in the first instance for client services, but in the broader instance to help on shared decision making should appeal to your sense of helping where you can on the lines of shared decision making. Without intent to say anything more than noting that in every conversation that reverts to economics at some point it becomes about unlimited wants and needs and a limited pool of resources so what we can fairly express as a wining objective in  the middle is to grow knowledge that can help and connect to good management, cost accounting and capital budgeting with a little but of management finance to consider that what we can do for best results is work with Economics and Tax Policy to align financial strategy such that the limited resources are placed in an allocation that is weighted to meet the maximum value allocation for a yield multiplier on societal returns. That in and of itself is strategy that works in any locality, state, National or International line to optimize the allocation of the inputs for the yield returns of the outputs.

Follow on below for the updates and along the lines of  DCarrsonCPA where the lines exist to help on Client Services and for those points where we meet in common in the Economy as stakeholders and Trustees in the Estate of the Future from the lines of financials to the broader lines of the responsible  stewardship of resources. It's a line to support your leadership role on financials and governance in the aggregate.

NYS Methodology for Economics and Statistics

Working Draft:

NYS Methodology for Economics and Statistics : Index of Coincident Economic Indicators.

Following the lines of Financial Decision Making in the Empire State the important role of Economics and Statistics in Quantitative Decision Making is a key tool set for solutions that range from Tax Policy to Economic Growth support and Program Analysis, Consideration and Implementation in the Empire State.

Setting the Grounds:

We have a strong interest in support of Quantitative Analysis in the Empire State for the opportunity to better connect with Macro Economic Decision Making. The Micro Economic Reporting of Businesses, Non Profits and Individuals in the State roll up to a broader framework of Financial Decision Making through Economics and Statistics. This includes an interest in the opportunity to assist on Public Finance challenges today and in the future, a role best supported through a better understanding of the methods of Quantitative Analysis and Quality control that correspond to Economic and Statistical Analysis for Decision Making in the Empire State.

Where Macro and Micro Economics connect (the brige through Accounting):

It's an interesting point to know that in Business, Non Profit and Individual roles the Micro Economic decision making is supported through Accounting, Taxes and Financials, but in the broader context of Public Policy and important decision making on Local, State and National Financials - the Decision Making is driven through Quantitative Analysis through Economics and Statistics that are applied for sampling the population to determine the various needs and expected outcomes on Policy and Decision Making.

The Factors of Interest:

In a time of persistent challenges in Public Finance at the Local, State and National Levels - growth in knowledge is a good place to start in support of the needs on  Public Finance. It also helps that we deeply enjoy the Financial, Economic, Statistical and Legal Research elements of identifying how public decision making progresses. Any Local, State or National Government deals with significant problem solving on Financials and the knowledge growth on problem solving bears relevance to the needs of Individuals, Non Profits and Businesses on Financials. Along the points of discovery are many levels of knowledge growth in support of Business Strategy.

Some History on Us:

We are currently in our fourth calendar year of following a consistent line of connecting research on the Accounting, Taxes, Financials, Economics, Statistics, Legal and Regulatory points of Financial Decision Making in the first instance for the support of Entity and Individual needs on Financials and in the residual beneficial role to help support knowledge growth on Public Finance and related support opportunities to help on the challenges over time through knowledge and awareness.

Our interest is to support Quantitative Analysts and Research for Business Development and Growth and to help Tax Payers in the Empire State better connect with an understanding of the conceptual framework of Taxation in connection to Policy. The greater understanding of Economics, Statistics, Policy and Taxation helps to place the obligations of Taxation in the broader context of how we all work together in the Empire State. Taxation is an important civic duty, and also a key way that we all work together in Localities, Cities and States. It's important therefore to understand the mechanical framework of Macro Decision Making that works with Taxation as the funding method for Policy Level Decisions. Your point of awareness as a Tax Payer places this whole Tax Season in a greater context of an impressive framework for Large Scale Decision Making in the Macro Economy of the Great State of New York.

Since the earliest days when I was fortunate enough to volunteer in the NYC Audit Department (in the early days of the Guliani administration), I have held a deep appreciation of the complexity of  Financial Management in Governance. During that time I had the privilege of working with some ex-GAO professionals who saw my interest and opened a door of continual learning through sharing insight to understanding of the mechanics of Financial Governance. That learning is most meaningful in context to help us ALL work together better on the important problem solving for the current and future challenges in public finance. If you have taken the time to read this it is a common interest we share to help on improvements in Public Finance through awareness. Being aware can help you better participate in the active decision making that is ultimately reflected in Individual, Family, Community, Government, Non Profit and Business Financials.

Is there a common Standard Setting Framework for Economics and Statistics ? - the Accountant considers that Financials and Accounting have GAAP and IFRS - what common standards guide Economics & Statistics ? :

The simple answer is that while Statistics have common formulas and that it is in the method of structuring surveys and tests where there is more variability. The standards may change depending on where you are working. We are continuing to learn more of this but here is the answer in reference to NYS level Econometrics in more detail:

In the process of considering the framework of Financial Decision Making a relevant question from the Accounting perspective became what is the relevant framework of decision making and controls in the area of Economics and Statistics. As you may or may not be aware Financials and Accounting correspond to Standards defined by FASB and potentially to IFRS for Financials. For Compliance Financials and Accounting correspond to Laws and Rules that include Federal, State and Local Elements of Compliance, Statistical Reporting and Taxation.

By way of frame of reference it became a relevant question to seek to define the obvious point that Economics and Statistics must also correspond to a defined centralized rule set. Through process of Research we have connected with these rule sets as part of Our ongoing analysis in the Year of Statistics 2013 . Depending on the Economics and Statistics area there are various points for defined rules - but not in the same manner as the centralization of Standards for Accounting under GAAP or IFRS. 

We are continuing to review and learn more about comparative applied Economics and Statistics adnd Econometrics across the Economy but this is one finding at point.

Lessons Learned and Learning Pending:

Behind the scenes we are analyzing a broad survey of the Standard Setting methods of Statistics - where we have compiled a significant amount of  resources and data for  knowledge that will take some time to clear through. We are not rushing this because from Our perspective the study of applied Economics and Statistics through Econometrics is important and very interesting.

It's taken for granted that if you've read this far you appreciate our interests in learning more of applied Quantitative Methods and their important role in both Public Finance and Policy Decision Making. It is an impressive point of fact that Economics and Statistics can work together using surveys, samples and tests on data to produce meaningful decision making and of course that decision making is relevant to everything we do as Financial Decision Makers through Financials, Taxation and Compliance.

While our overall work is part of a framework for better understanding Public Finance in general from the Local, City, State, National and International points of Decision Making. The consideration here is focused on an element that is substantial enough in it's own right - Financial Decision Making for the Empire State and the contextual framework of Economics and Statistics controls that are place in the process of producing Analyses for NYS. It's an interesting point and the real application of Economics and Statistics to producing meaningful data insight for Decision Making is helpful to the educational process of knowledge growth for understanding of Public Finance Decision Making and the ways we all connect as Financial Decision Makers in Business, Non Profit, Individual and Governance roles on Financials.

Limiting the scope here to NYS - below please find the NYS Statistical Methods for Public Finance Analysis. It is an important answer to a question we considered about what exactly are the controls of Financial Decision Making for Economics and Statistics when leading into data for Public Policy Decision Making with further impact to the broader scope of Financial Decision Makers across the State.
