transition

i am still in shock that "GAAP" has given up so quickly. is it because we are concerned about the perceived deterioration of our capital markets....
trust me when i say that the major money houses do not give a blank about where the money is coming from....we have sold out and i feel like a cheap blank having spent 29 years under the GAAP roof

Keeping pace with the changing times

As geographies cease to exist and as businesses are truly done seamlessly, it is imperative that there is a well thought-out, principles based, International Accounting Standard. This is easier said than done.

Change always wreaks inevitable angst, but the enduring benefits would well justify the pain, effort and the cost.

Makes you think about all that has happened and the changes in GAAP since that "tune" was written.
