Is it bad reporting or does naivete reign at the highest levels? | 08-07-2008
Author: Paul Miller, CPA, Professor, The Regents of The University of Colorado

When they suggest there could be a pure historical cost system, they are talking about something that doesn't exist and hasn't existed in a 100 years, if even then. I have to believe that Herz was misquoted or misinterpreted; I can...

Cash flow manipulation is real | 10-29-2007
Analysis of: Cash Flow Manipulation – Analyzing and Identifying | theharrissolution.com
Author: Paul Miller, CPA, Professor, The Regents of The University of Colorado

You can never judge a book by its cover or a seminar by its flier, but Harris Solutions is on to something here.  If you have accepted the SCF as pure and not manipulable, you may very well want to attend to find out more about the sly maneuvers on the fringes of GAAP that pump up the operating...
