My latest post is up @Going Concern. Sex. Drugs. They didn’t mention rock and roll but I’m sure those stories will come out too eventually. Bernie and Elton John. Bernie and Mick Jagger.

I was asked by the infamous John Carney to fill in at Clusterstock.com while he’s roaming the Midwest in search of “Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet…”
My new piece is up at The Huffington Post. It should be read alongside yesterday’s story on Lynn Turner. If these two start selling out the shareholder and the ideals of the accounting profession in all of the mess of the financial crisis, who’s left?
“One of the things I love about my friend, Francine McKenna, author of re: The Auditors, Using the Tools Instead of the Tools Using Me, is that she comes from “outside” the industry…Oh yeah, she also has a delicious sense of humor. Get ready to see it in action as she answers the five questions from the Experts […]
