Miscellany — interesting items that caught my eye during the week.
Patty Keegan is spot on in her article for Marketing Magazine (Australia). Her “The executive tweet – why CEOs should use social media,” is excellent.
Ed Ketz and Tony Catanach, the Grumpy Old Accountants, have an excellent piece in, “Who Really Cares About Auditor Rotation? Not Us!” They reason that “Any auditor’s report (the current or improved version) should be supplemented with a detailed “audit engagement” report that will allow investors to make up their own minds about the quality of a company’s audit.”
The Accounting Today has announced the inaugural winner of its contest for Accountant of the Month. The winner is Darlene Finzer, a principal at the Ohio CPA firm Rea & Associates. The purpose of the award is to recognize an accountant who is the polar opposite of dull and boring. Finzer has two claims to fame. First, she grows donkeys. Second, she works on the pit crew for her nephew’s go-kart races.
Have you seen the latest video featuring Gwen Jorgensen? Gwen Jorgensen is the Olympic accountant.
Lindsey Pollak writes for the LinkedIn Blog. Her recent entry, “How to Showcase Your Personal Brand on LinkedIn: 8 Tips,” is a good reminder that LinkedIn is a terrific tool for presenting your personal/professional brand. I need to tweak my LI profile.
