It was merely an extension of the fixed line telephony that allowed users to keep in touch with colleagues. Now the hand phone is not only used for voice communication, it is also used to send text and multimedia messages. Future mob…

Hidden Financial Risk, Understanding Off–Balance Sheet Accounting

Then Enron disclosed problems in its third-quarter report of 2001 and soon declared bankruptcy. All of a sudden people were interested in accounting at levels I had never experienced previously.

Hidden Financial Risk Understanding Off–Balance Sheet Accounting

When I graduated with a doctorate in 1977, I researched and published articles on mainstream topics, particularly current value accounting and the interaction between earnings and cash flows. After a while, it occurred to me that these are not the crucial issues of financial accounting and reporting.
