CYBERSECURITY | One Email Could Change Where Your Business Sends Its Money.

Imagine receiving an email from a vendor advising that their banking information has changed. The email looks legitimate. The sender's name is familiar. It even references an outstanding invoice. You update the banking information and send payment.

Unfortunately, the email wasn't from your vendor.

This is a common business email compromise (BEC) scenario, and it demonstrates why cybersecurity is not just an IT responsibility.

Protect your organization by establishing a few basic controls:

✓ Independently verify changes to vendor banking information using a previously established telephone number.

✓ Require secondary approval for changes to payment instructions.

✓ Implement multifactor authentication on business email accounts.

✓ Train employees to recognize suspicious messages and unusual payment requests.

✓ Maintain appropriate segregation of duties within accounts payable.

A simple verification procedure could prevent a significant financial loss.

Cybersecurity and financial internal controls should work together—not operate as separate functions.

**INCOME TAX | The IRS Has Launched a New Mobile App!**

Managing your federal tax information just got a little easier.

On September 25, 2026, the IRS announced the launch of its new mobile app, replacing IRS2Go and expanding the services taxpayers can access directly from their smartphones.

The updated app allows taxpayers to:

✓ Check refund and amended-return status.

✓ Review available tax balances and payment activity.

✓ Make federal tax payments.

✓ Access selected IRS notices and tax transcripts.

✓ Retrieve their Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN).

The app is free and available through the Apple App Store and Google Play.

**A QUICK REMINDER:**
Only download the official IRS application. Scammers frequently impersonate government agencies through fake applications, websites, text messages, and emails.

You can find verified download information directly at IRS.gov.

INCOME TAX — Need to Prove You’re Tax Compliant? There’s Now an IRS Report for That.

The IRS has introduced a new way for individual taxpayers to demonstrate their federal tax compliance without handing over a tax return.

As of September 16, taxpayers can obtain a digitally authenticated Tax Compliance Report through their IRS Individual Online Account. The report can be used when an employer, lender, government agency, or another organization needs evidence that federal tax obligations are current. Taxpayer Advocate Service
Importantly, the report does not disclose information such as your income, filing status, or dependents.

Instead, it can show:
• Your overall tax compliance status
• Your filing history
• Whether federal taxes are owed
• Certain recent late filings or payments

The report also contains an IRS digital certificate that allows the recipient to verify that the document is authentic.

One important detail: send the original downloaded PDF.

According to the Taxpayer Advocate Service, screenshots, scanned copies, and documents created using “Print to PDF” will not retain the digital authentication. Recent payments can also take approximately two weeks to appear, while recently filed returns may take four to six weeks. Taxpayer Advocate Service

This is a useful addition for taxpayers who need to establish tax compliance while limiting the amount of personal financial information they disclose.

CYBERSECURITY COMPLIANCE — Third-Party Risk Management Guidance May Be Changing

Banks and credit unions should have the September 11 joint regulatory proposal on their radar.

The NCUA, FDIC, Federal Reserve, and OCC have proposed new third-party risk management guidance intended to help financial institutions tailor oversight to the actual risk presented by individual third-party relationships.

The proposal is principles-based and non-binding, but its direction is important.

When finalized, the federal banking regulators plan to rescind existing third-party risk management guidance and replace it with new guidance to promote greater consistency. The agencies have indicated the proposal reflects lessons learned from supervisory experience examining financial institutions’ third-party risk programs.

This is a good opportunity to evaluate your program today.

A processor with access to sensitive member or customer data, a critical core provider, a cloud platform supporting essential operations, and the company delivering office supplies should not receive identical due diligence.

Risk-based third-party management should influence:
• Due-diligence depth
• Contract requirements
• Cybersecurity review
• Business-continuity expectations
• Ongoing monitoring
• Incident-notification requirements
• Concentration-risk analysis
• Exit and transition planning

This proposal is worth putting on the agenda for your next Vendor Management, Information Security, or Enterprise Risk meeting.

📌 Don't Let September 15 Sneak Up on You!

If you make quarterly estimated tax payments, here's your friendly Sunday reminder: the third estimated tax payment for 2026 is due Tuesday, September 15.

Estimated payments commonly apply to business owners, self-employed individuals, landlords, investors, and others who receive income that isn't fully covered by withholding.

And here's something important: simply making a payment doesn't necessarily mean you're paying the RIGHT amount.

Changes in income, business profit, investments, retirement distributions, or other circumstances can change what you should be paying throughout the year.

If you haven't reviewed your 2026 tax position lately, now is a good time to do it. A little planning in September can prevent an unpleasant surprise next spring.
