As of January 1, 2026, twenty states have comprehensive data privacy laws, but coverage of employee HR records varies sharply — California extends full consumer rights to employees while Colorado and Virginia exempt employment records except for a new Colorado biometric-data carve-out effective July 1, 2025.
Under ASC 606, a service-type extended warranty is a separate performance obligation — the price must be allocated at standalone selling price and recognized as deferred revenue, amortized ratably over the coverage term, not booked as revenue upfront.
The FAA's proposed Part 108 rule creates two tracks for beyond-visual-line-of-sight drone flights — Permitted Operations capped at 100 delivery aircraft or 10 agricultural aircraft, and uncapped Certificated Operations — with a final rule expected around spring 2026 and implementation six to twelve months after.
The Main Street Depositor Protection Act (S. 4198) would raise FDIC coverage for noninterest-bearing business payroll accounts to between $250,000 and $5 million, up from today's flat $250,000 limit, but the bill had not passed Congress as of March 2026.
Finland's 2025 VAT reform raised the small-business exemption to €20,000 but eliminated the sliding-scale relief that used to soften the jump to full VAT liability at €30,000, so crossing €20,000 now means owing VAT on 100% of turnover with no phase-in.
Fire alarm and sprinkler inspection companies should track NFPA 25 and NFPA 72 testing cadences as separate recurring revenue streams, recognize prepaid annual contracts ratably per completed visit, and job-cost deficiency repairs separately from the flat inspection fee so true margins and contract renewal rates stay visible.
Florida HB 803, effective July 1, 2026, exempts single-family residential work under $7,500 from building permits — but only for cosmetic categories, only with a filed written request, and never in flood zones or for electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical, or gas work.
The FTC's 2026 "double disclosure" rule requires sponsored posts to separately disclose AI involvement in addition to paid-partnership status, with penalties up to $53,088 per non-compliant post.
GMROI measures gross profit generated per dollar of average inventory cost; a GMROI above 3.0 is generally strong, below 1.0 means inventory is destroying margin dollars, and typical category ranges run from 1.2 in grocery to 6.5+ in electronics.
Grain elevator bookkeeping separates elevator-owned inventory from bailment grain held for producers, tracks basis and deferred-price (NPE) contracts as distinct liabilities, and recognizes storage fees as service revenue earned over time rather than as a sale.
The Department of Labor's October 2025 H-2A rule replaced the flat state AEWR with a two-tier OEWS-based wage system and a new housing credit of $0.71 to $3.18 per hour, projected to save U.S. farms $2.4 billion a year — but it requires separate pay codes by skill level and documented job orders to survive an audit.
Hotshot trucking operators need a chart of accounts that separates fuel, MC-authority insurance, factoring fees, and IFTA liability from generic vehicle expenses, since brokers often pay 15-45 days after delivery while fuel and insurance are due immediately.
