The 2012 ‘Best Places to Work in Indiana’ rankings were announced on May 3, 2012, by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce. There were 70 companies from throughout the state that made the 2012 Best Places to Work in Indiana list. The top companies in the state are determined through employer reports and comprehensive employee surveys.
Somerset is proud to be ranked 7th place in the small to medium-sized companies category of between 15 and 249 U.S. employees, and we thank our associates for the honor.

On Wednesday, April 18, Linsey Bont of Somerset’s Information Solutions Team will host this event for Axium users. It will be held in Somerset’s Conference Center from 10:00 a.m. to Noon, and lunch will be served at noon. Registration is open.
Our associates are “losing big” this tax season. This is typically a time when CPAs are too busy to worry about eating right and exercising, but this year Somerset’s Wellness Committee wanted to change that.
Our Wellness Committee decided to appeal to our associates’ competitive sides and hold a contest. They came up with the “Somerset Wellness Challenge,” which groups participants into teams to lose weight during tax season. Not meant to be a quick weight loss program, the challenge promotes simple lifestyle changes like moving more, eating more fruits and vegetables and drinking more water. Somerset coordinated with Spectrum Health Systems so weekly weigh-ins and individual identities would be confidential.
Debbie Williams, the firm’s Controller and Co-Chair of the Wellness Committee said, “The committee was inspired to set up this challenge to help employees take control of their health and fitness after Somerset held on-site health screenings. It’s been great to see the results.”
About half of our associates signed up to participate in January. By mid-March, those 67 participants have lost an amazing 262 pounds in total. That’s an average loss of 3.91 pounds per participant.
To support associates, Somerset CPAs also provides the following:
Teams with the biggest percentage of weight loss have been given interim prizes and recognition throughout the contest. The final weigh-in will be on April 25, and the top 3 team and individual winners will receive cash prizes.
We are happy to be “big losers” this tax season!

Ken W. Stalcup, CPA, CFE, CFF of our Litigation, Valuation & Forensic Team wrote an article that was published by Fraud Magazine recently.
“Revenue accounts are fraudsters’ favorite targets in financial statement frauds because they often contain the largest numbers and high volumes of transactions within general ledgers. As CFEs, we need to understand the underlying causes and motivations for overstating revenues. But don’t bury yourself in the ledgers; investigatory interviews and other analyses are imperative.”
