"Garden Supply, Inc., has developed a recyclable polypropylene stacking pot that is very attractive and works extremely well with hydroponic vertical farming processes," said Erik Cutter, Managing Director of EnviroIngenuity. "Garden Supply's effort to promote environmental sustainability in the U.S. and abroad aligns with EnviroIngenuity's purpose to create ingenious solutions to environmental problems."

After rigorous testing and evaluation, Garden Supply's stacking pots were selected for integration into EnviroIngenuity's hydroponic vertical farm systems to offer a simple, attractive and high-yield growing option, and one that is extremely resource-efficient.

"Our hydroponic vertical farming process reduces energy and water use by more than 90 percent and saves space," said Erik Cutter, Managing Director of EnviroIngenuity. "It also reduces fertilizer use by over 50 percent and virtually eliminates greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the need to transport produce across long distances, and it uses coir instead of organic soil which is becoming a very limited resource."

EnviroIngenuity recently completed Alegria Fresh farm in Laguna Beach, Southern California's first urban hydroponic vertical vegetable farm. Located in Laguna Canyon, the company's goal is to enable individuals and communities to grow superior, nutrition-rich food within urban areas and develop jobs for youth and veterans in urban food production.

"Our curriculum and food production systems allow youth to develop valuable life-skills by growing their own food and ultimately own their own business in urban agriculture," said Cutter. "This is one very healthy job opportunity that cannot be outsourced and one that addresses one of modern society's most pressing problems, access to clean, nutrient-rich food."

Alegria Farm is Orange County's first hydroponic vertical farm which uses no soil, 90 percent less water, 70 percent less land and 50 percent less fertilizer than traditional organic farming and zero toxic pesticides. The high-performance growing system produces clean, nutrient-rich food 3x faster than traditional farming and allows plants to grow bigger and stronger, making them naturally more pest-resistant.

A R T I C L E:

TACPA (The Texas Association of CPAs), supports effort to reduce burdensome regulations in the state. Texas Representative Phil Stephenson, CPA, recently filed two bills affecting CPAs and small businesses in Texas: The first bill, H.B. 1756, exempts from the state's mandatory peer review program, CPAs who only prepare financial statements for small businesses.

The second bill, H.B. 1757, ensures sole practitioners are represented on the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy.

Stephenson's H.B. 1756 lessens the burden of participating in the State's inspection program by removing compilation reports prepared for micro- or small-businesses from the state's mandatory peer review program. "CPAs who prepare reports for small businesses with fewer than 100 employees and under six-million dollars in revenue do not present as great a risk for the public as those who prepare reports for large national businesses. Loosening this requirement will not harm the public's interest," said Stephenson.

John Furge, President of the TACPA, agrees. "The typical small business has stakeholders who are intimately involved with the business. They are on-site every day. There are no remote investors or pensions to protect. Even if there were to be an accounting failure, the consequences would affect very few people. The burden of inspection is simply not justified."

The AICPA, (American Institute of CPAs), peer review program inspects financial reports issued by CPA firms ONLY for the purpose of insuring compliance with AICPA standards. It does NOT look for fraud. The Arthur Andersen CPA firm, for example, was peer-reviewed "without qualification" during the same period in which it reported on Enron. In the case of Enron, the reports were in compliance with AICPA standards, but the underlying accounting was rotten.

In 1999 The Texas legislature passed a law that provides for the AICPA peer review program to inspect the work product of Texas CPAs. Again, this was for the purpose of insuring compliance with AICPA professional standards.

To put the H.B.1756 in perspective, it does not affect audit reports, or review reports, only compilation reports.

The Texas State Board of Accountancy, however, interprets the AICPA program as being mandatory for any Texas CPA who performs any attest work, regardless of the size of the entity about which a financial report is prepared. The state of New York, in contrast, exempts unincorporated sole-practitioner firms and firms with two or fewer CPAs from its mandatory inspection program.

The Board's insistence that these small reports be peer-reviewed has harmed the accountancy industry in Texas according to Furge. He points out that the Board of Accountancy's own statistics indicate that "fifty-five percent of Texas CPA practice units have signed an affidavit stating they will no longer issue compilation reports. This is not good for the public."

Not only that, said Furge, "If you have fewer CPAs performing these services, inevitably, the cost of obtaining these services must rise. This hurts small business!"

Stephenson's introduction of H.B. 1757 is also directed at the local practitioner. This bill requires that at least two sole-practitioner CPAs be appointed to the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy.
