The Dream of Free, Secure Online Tax Filing Could Be Finally Here with IRS Direct File

This week, the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) began to roll out a pilot for the agency’s free online tax-return filing program, known as “Direct File”.[1] What should be a straightforward and beneficial program has already become the subject of numerous conflicting news stories and debates, casting the program and its motives as dubious.

Cloud Court achieves SOC2 Type I Certification

We’re proud to announce that Cloud Court, Inc. has earned SOC2 Type I certification as of October 16, 2023.

SOC2, or Service Organization Controls 2 is a framework that is governed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). With a SOC2 audit, an independent service auditor will review an organization’s policies, procedures, and evidence to determine if their controls are designed and operating effectively. A SOC2 report communicates a company’s commitment to data security and protection of customer information.

There are two types of SOC2 reports. Type I describes an organization’s systems and whether the system design complies with the relevant trust principles. Type II details the operational efficiency of these systems.

They are all listed here with links for your possible reading. I will also review the winning story, a fine effort by a young author with a good surprise ending. My sincere congratulations.
