The Fair Value Debate - The Political Imperative - A Exercise in Futility?

November 19, 2009

Accounting Rules:Divided and Overruled | www.economist.com

Fair value has been in the news for sometime. Also banks are now complaining and so are regulators and politicians. The convergence issue and the impact of a far off standard setter not subject to local influence is having its effects on the debate. In this analysis I look at why fair value should not be influenced by those not well conversant with the subject. While I agree that accountants alone should not influence the debate yet the undue influence of politicians should be avoided.

What the Former SEC Chairmen Missed...

November 19, 2009

Don't Let Banks Hide Bad Assets | online.wsj.com

However, there are two major issues associated with fair value reporting that accountants, investors, legislators, and regulators need to address in the wake of our most recent financial crisis.

October 8, 2009

The New Calculus of Offshoring | www.cfo.com

The policy of Central Banks over the last year has left the  monetary system in a state of limbo. The value of the dollar in terms of  bullion and other commodities is taking a beating.  The increasing value of gold in currency terms reminds one of the days of the gold standard and the benefits of having gold as a store of  value. In this analysis I take a look at how this increasing value of gold may effect   internal controls and corporate financial policies.
