I’ve been posting to AECM for years. AECM is the e-mail listserv for hundreds of accounting professors. One topic I regularly post on is accounting and how it is perceived by the popular culture. Youtube is one of my favorite sites (google images is the other).
The bailout and sub-prime crisis has have spawned many commentaries, [...]
Why Accounting Profs Should Blog
Posted in Academic accounting, Accounting Ed, tagged Academic blogging, Accounting professors, Blogging, Professors, Think piece on December 26, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Law professors do it–they do it with appeal. Economists do it–with demand and supply. If accounting professors did it (they don’t), they would be certified to do it. Why don’t accounting professors do it?

Very interesting, indeed.
Prior to election day, there was little conjecture as to the impact it would have on accounting. Oh, some things were clear. McCain had made his opposition to fair value accounting a campaign issue, even during the prmaries. But what about the biggie: U.S. GAAP or IFRS. Would the multi-trillion dollar have an [...]

One of the courses I teach is Intermediate Accounting 2. This semester’s paper assignment is to take a position on whether the U.S. should adopt IFRS or retain its GAAP. To improve the quality of papers I receive, I instituted a system of peer review, requiring each paper to go though two [...]
