New Jersey Society of CPAs Issues Disaster Recovery Guide for Individuals and Businesses
-August 14, 2024
ROSELAND, N.J. - The New Jersey Society of Certified Public Accountants (NJCPA) has published its updated Disaster Recovery Guide to assist individuals and businesses in New Jersey. As hurricane season is in full throttle and residents and businesses clean up from Tropical Storm Debby along the East Coast, the free guide serves as a useful reminder of what to do in the wake of damage to property or after the loss of personal or business-related records.
The NJCPA Disaster Recovery Guide provides a list of insurance contacts throughout New Jersey and the Metropolitan area as well as various state and federal agencies that can assist in recovering or replacing lost identity and documentation for automobiles, homes, mortgages or marriage licenses. The guide also explains the necessary steps to avoid disaster recovery scams and outlines how to amend IRS tax returns to help cover one's losses.
"Knowing what resources are available in times of a crisis can make a huge difference when it comes to getting a business back up and running smoothly after a disaster or in recouping one's lost personal records," said Aiysha (AJ) Johnson, MA, IOM, CEO and executive director at the NJCPA. "The guide is a wonderful reminder of how knowledgeable CPAs are in helping New Jersey residents and businesses thrive."
The Disaster Recovery Guide is available online at njcpa.org/recovery or by contacting the NJCPA at 973-226-4494 or [email protected].
