10. Child Abuse Reporting.

Author

Besharov, Douglas J. and Laumann, Lisa A.

Subjects
*CHILD abuse, *LEGAL status of children, *CHILD welfare
Abstract

The article emphasizes the need for better reporting of child abuse and neglect in the U.S. Since the early 1960s, all states have passed laws that require designated professionals to report specified types of child maltreatment. Under threat of civil and criminal penalties, these laws require most professionals who serve children to report suspected child abuse and neglect. These reporting laws, associated public awareness campaigns, and professional education programs have been strikingly successful. In 1980 and 1986, Westat Inc. conducted national studies of the incidence of child abuse and neglect. Westat found that professionals failed to report many of the children they saw who had observable signs of child abuse and neglect. Obtaining and maintaining a high level of reporting requires a continuation of the public education and professional training begun thirty years ago. But, now, such efforts must also address a problem as serious as nonreporting: inappropriate reporting. Nationwide, between 60 and 65 percent of all reports are closed after an initial investigation determines that they are unfounded or unsubstantiated. The current flood of unfounded reports is overwhelming the limited resources of child protective agencies. Forced to allocate a substantial portion of their limited resources to unfounded reports, child protective agencies are less able to respond promptly and effectively when children are in serious danger. Some reports are left uninvestigated for a week and even two weeks after they are received. These nationwide conditions help explain why from 25 to 50 percent of child abuse deaths involve children previously known to the authorities.

14. TAX PREPARERS: GOVERNMENT AGENTS OR CLIENT ADVOCATES?

Author

Jackson, Betty R. and Milliron, Valerie C.

Subjects
TAX return preparation industry, TAX returns, TAX consultants, INDUSTRIAL surveys, ACCOUNTANTS
Abstract

The article presents some of the major findings of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) survey on tax preparers' attitudes and the approach taken by Westat Inc. on its analysis of the survey data. Sixty-seven percent of returns were prepared by certified public accountants (CPA) who approves of signing a return that has any tax shelter in it as long as the K-1s are provided while nineteen percent were prepared by CPA who would sign a return without probing in depth for secondary sources of income. Seventy-two percent of returns would resolve all questionable items on a return that have a reasonable basis favoring the client. Five percent of CPA would sign a return when there is a strong suspicion it understates income. Westat has concluded that the current level of industry support for the IRS mission is high but there is still a need for improvement.
