EY US appoints Martin Fiore as Americas vice-chair of tax
Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) has appointed Martin Fiore as the Americas vice-chair of tax, effective 1 July.
Fiore will succeed Kevin Flynn, who has led the business since 2022 and is set to retire at the end of the fiscal year.
Fiore, currently serving as EY Americas deputy vice-chair – Tax, will be based in New York.
In the new role, Fiore will supervise tax strategy and client services, leading a team of more than 18,000 professionals across Canada, the US, North, Central and South America, Israel and the Caribbean.
He will also join the US Management Committee, the Americas Operating Executive and the Global Practice Group during what EY described as 'a time of pivotal policy reform'.
In his previous positions, Fiore has been credited with guiding EY US and its clients through geopolitical changes and technological advancements including AI, impacting tax.
His experience includes serving as US-East region tax managing partner and EY Americas tax talent leader.
Fiore is a 31-year veteran of EY US and has been involved in the Americas Inclusiveness Advisory Council.
Fiore said: 'I am honoured and excited to be chosen to lead our tax practice. And I feel privileged to inherit the exceptional work of my predecessor, Kevin Flynn.
'I will continue to embrace the technological changes needed to transform tax across compliance, reporting and law while keeping our people at the centre.'
Meanwhile, in the UK, the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) is investigating EY for its auditing of the Post Office during the Horizon software scandal.
The FRC's investigation will focus on the role of statutory auditors in meeting the auditing standards at the time, excluding broader issues related to the Horizon IT system.
Recently, the FRC sanctioned EY and audit partner Christopher Voogd for breaches in the statutory audit of Stirling Water Seafield Finance for the year ending 31 December 2019.
EY exceeded the ten-year audit limit for a Public Interest Entity without a public tender, violating company law and the FRC's Mandatory Firm Rotation requirements.
Both EY and Voogd failed to adhere to proper procedures for audit engagement, contravening International Standards for Auditing, according to the FRC.

Ginkgo MIC Strengthens Investor Resilience Amid Global Pressures and Reaffirms Confidence with Top-Tier Analyst Rating in Mid-Year Market Update
TORONTO, ON AND VANCOUVER, BC / / June 10, 2025 / Ginkgo Mortgage Investment Corporation ("Ginkgo MIC") recently hosted its virtual Mid-Year Market Update, providing valued investors with timely insights into the fund's performance and strategic direction amid ongoing global trade tensions and economic uncertainty. In keeping with its commitment to open communication, Ginkgo's leadership addressed current market realities-including inflationary pressures, rising unemployment, and continued volatility in the Canadian housing market. As of February 2025, Ginkgo MIC's total assets have grown by 8% to $187 million, while the portfolio's average loan-to-value (LTV) ratio has been further reduced to 66%. The percentage of loans delinquent over 90 days has remained stable at 3.56%, supported by disciplined lending practices, tighter underwriting standards, and a renewed focus on borrower quality and cash flow. To further insulate the fund against market volatility, Ginkgo plans to increase its bad debt provisions to $2 million, reinforcing its ability to maintain stable distributions even in a shifting economic environment. "Our team anticipated that 2025 would be a challenging year, as shared during our February AGM," said Henry Tse, CEO of Ginkgo MIC. "Despite seven interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada, the housing market remains subdued, and broader economic uncertainty continues to grow." Up to this point, Ginkgo has maintained its annual dividend rates at 9.75% for Series 1 and 9.0% for Series 2 Preferred Shares. "To support long-term portfolio stability and to compete more effectively in the market, it is time to further strengthen our financial position," Tse added. As a result, effective July 2025, Ginkgo's Board has revised its target dividends to 9.25% for Series 1 and 8.5% for Series 2 Preferred Shares. These rates remain highly competitive and reflect Ginkgo's focus on balancing attractive yields with prudent capital preservation. Demonstrating external confidence in Ginkgo's strategy, Fundamental Research Corp (FRC) recently upgraded Ginkgo MIC to a 2+ rating-one of the highest in the industry based on FRC's latest annual review. This upgrade highlights Ginkgo's consistent dividend history, strong governance practices, and commitment to transparency.

Social Security Advice: One Key Takeaway for All Retirees
Social Security is a lifeline for many retirees, but it's on shaky ground right now. With benefit cuts potentially coming, now is the time to start preparing. A few simple steps can help protect your retirement no matter what Social Security's future looks like. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › Millions of older adults rely heavily on Social Security in retirement. Around 60% of current retirees say their benefits are a major source of income, according to a 2024 Gallup poll, while an additional 28% say it's a minor income source. While there's no harm in relying on Social Security to some extent, if I could give all Americans one piece of advice about Social Security, it's this: Have a backup plan. First, it's essential to note that Social Security is unlikely to disappear entirely. Many people are concerned about the program going bankrupt. However, while benefit cuts could be on the horizon, the program itself should still be a reliable source of income to some degree. Social Security is funded primarily through payroll taxes. Today's workers pay into the program through taxes, and that money is funneled to current retirees and other beneficiaries. But in recent years, that income hasn't been enough to cover all the benefits that need to be paid out. As a result, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has tapped its two trust funds to continue paying benefits in full. According to the latest projections from the SSA Board of Trustees, which were released in May 2024, those trust funds will likely run out by 2035. Now, this doesn't mean that Social Security itself is running out of money. Again, as long as workers keep paying payroll taxes, retirees will always receive some form of benefits. But unless lawmakers find some sort of solution in the next decade, benefit cuts could be a possibility. The SSA's latest trust fund projections date back over a year. A lot has changed since then, and there could be more potential changes coming that could impact Social Security. For example, President Trump has previously proposed eliminating income tax on Social Security benefits. While that could increase retirees' income in the short term, it would also mean there's less cash for the SSA to fund benefits. Tax cuts, in general, could also hurt Social Security. If the SSA has to take more than it had planned from the trust funds, those reserves could run out even sooner than 2035. Also, with less money coming in from taxes, the subsequent benefit cuts could be even more severe than expected. To be clear, benefit cuts are not a guarantee at this point. Lawmakers still have a few more years before the trust funds run out, and they could come up with a solution to protect the program. But when your retirement is on the line, it may be wise to avoid putting your financial future in the hands of Congress. If you still have some time before retirement, it could be smart to find ways to reduce your dependence on Social Security. That could mean simply saving more in your 401(k) or IRA, or perhaps picking up a side hustle or a source of passive income. Investing in dividend stocks or ETFs can also be a smart strategy to build your investment portfolio while also generating a source of passive retirement income. Investing even $200 per month can add up to more than $137,000 after 20 years, assuming you're earning a 10% average annual return on your investment. No matter your approach, diversifying your income so that you're not completely dependent on Social Security is a wise move right now. While the program isn't going away entirely, it doesn't hurt to be prepared just in case benefit cuts are on the horizon. If you're like most Americans, you're a few years (or more) behind on your retirement savings. But a handful of little-known could help ensure a boost in your retirement income. One easy trick could pay you as much as $23,760 more... each year! Once you learn how to maximize your Social Security benefits, we think you could retire confidently with the peace of mind we're all after.
