A new policy has been finalized that would strip job protections from up to 50,000 federal workers by expanding at-will status beyond roughly 4,000 political appointees to include certain career employees in policy-related roles. The 255-page rule does not specify which positions will be covered; OPM director Scott Kupor said the White House will decide. It also shifts whistle-blower complaints for affected workers from the Office of Special Counsel to internal agency handling. The change follows broader efforts to reshape the federal workforce, with about 352,000 employees leaving in 2025. Critics warn it enables patronage and retaliation; Max Stier called it “a huge increase of at-will employment,” while the White House said loyalty tests and discrimination are “explicitly” prohibited.

From April 2029, salary-sacrificed pension contributions exceeding £2,000 will incur national insurance contributions, raising concerns for workers. Sir Steve Webb, a former pensions minister, noted that even those sacrificing less than £2,000 might face losses due to potential changes in pay structures. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) indicated that employers could adjust salary sacrifice arrangements, impacting many employees. Webb said: "We could see millions of people on modest incomes losing out," urging the Government to clarify the potential losses from this policy.

Democratic governors are divided over whether to opt into a new federal tax-credit scholarship program that would, for the first time, use federal tax policy to support private school choice. While nearly all Republican governors are participating, many Democrats remain cautious, questioning whether the program will primarily benefit private schools rather than public school students. The program offers taxpayers dollar-for-dollar federal tax credits of up to $1,700 for donations to nonprofits that fund K–12 scholarships, which can be used for a wide range of education-related expenses at public or private schools. Although the law allows public school students to benefit through tutoring, enrichment or after-school services, critics argue most funds are likely to flow initially to private school tuition due to existing infrastructure and fewer safeguards. Supporters say Democratic governors should opt in to shape the program’s development, while opponents warn it could accelerate enrollment declines and weaken public school systems.

AICPA's Auditing Standards Board (ASB) is set to propose updates to its attestation standards, focusing on sustainability and emerging assurance issues. An exposure draft will be available online on February 26th, with a comment period expected to last at least 120 days. The updates aim to address new areas of assurance beyond traditional auditing, including sustainability, digital assets, and cybersecurity. AICPA anticipates that the revised standards will be adopted next year after the comment period and further deliberation by the ASB. The exposure draft will be accessible on the AICPA's resource page for proposed standards by the end of the month.

The Scottish Parliament has approved a Bill that could imprison the bosses of companies responsible for pollution. The proposed legislation would allow for both people and organisations to be convicted, with custodial sentences of up to 20 years and unlimited fines. Labour MSP Monica Lennon's proposal aims to establish the offence of ecocide, defined as acts likely to cause significant environmental harm. The Bill received support with a vote of 90 to 26 but concerns about its definitions and enforcement were raised. The government has pledged to work with Ms Lennon to ensure its passage before the parliamentary term ends.

Anthropic's launch of its legal plugin for Claude Cowork has triggered a significant market downturn, with major legal tech companies like Thomson Reuters and RELX losing nearly 20% of their value. Jefferies Group labeled this event the “SaaSpocalypse,” highlighting a critical shift in the legal tech landscape. Bob Ambrogi noted that this marks the first instance of a foundation model company directly offering a legal workflow product, challenging existing business models. Harvey, valued at $8bn, faces existential threats as its primary supplier becomes a competitor. Cecilia Ziniti, founder of GC AI, emphasized that genuine value in legal tech lies in specialized software, not just AI tools. The market is now questioning whether legacy providers can maintain premium pricing amidst increasing competition from foundation model companies.

Rio Tinto has abandoned its merger talks with Glencore, which aimed to create the world's largest mining group. Disagreements over pricing and management roles led to the breakdown and Rio Tinto said it could not reach an agreement that would benefit its shareholders. Glencore, which sought a deal ratio giving its investors 40% of the combined entity, said that the proposed terms undervalued its contributions. Chris LaFemina, an analyst at Jefferies, said: "It is possible that the two companies re-engage at some point in the future, but that is not our base case," adding: "Rio likely goes it alone."

Sabine Charles, DBA, chief executive and founder of consulting firm Charles Financial Strategies, argues that strong internal audit functions depend on professional expertise rather than staffing levels alone, as boards often receive volumes of low-level findings while missing systemic risks. Author Sabine Charles contends that credentials such as the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) provide structured training that sharpens critical thinking, technical judgment and ethical standards needed to translate operational risk into strategic insight. As regulatory pressure grows and technologies such as AI and cloud computing reshape risk profiles, underqualified audit teams leave organisations exposed to fraud, cybersecurity breaches and compliance failures. Certified professionals are better equipped to test controls deeply, assess emerging risks and communicate boardroom-ready intelligence. While credentials alone cannot overcome weak governance culture, investing in professional audit capability can reduce long-term compliance costs, improve risk oversight and strengthen trust with regulators and stakeholders.
