Do President or CEO of Accounting Bodies Blog ?

Posted: 23 May 2008 03:46 PM CDT

Another word for technology is "Change". One is curious to know how the old hogs adopt to the change in technology. CEOs / Presidents of most of the Accounting Bodies are in age group of 45+. I found only two CEOs who blog
Should the President or CEOs should blog ? A bit contentious issue. But it happens the same when a new technology is introduced. Remember what Western Union said to Bell, Inventor of Telephone.

"Mr. Bell," he wrote, "after careful consideration of your invention, while it is a very interesting novelty, we have come to the conclusion that it has no commercial possibilities… What use could this company make of an electrical toy?

The companies have been promoting Instant Messenger, Collaborative Blogs or wikis for their employees as official communication. So companies have been adopting the technology and learn to use them effectively for business.



I feel that CEOs / President of Accounting bodies should blog just like they communicate. The blog post may not be frequent but it will influence the members of their body to embrace technology quickly and collaborate.

What do you think ? I would be happy to read you views on the subject. Please post comments on the post.

Big Four Make Big Plans for IFRS - Careers - CFO.com

Posted: 22 May 2008 02:32 PM CDT

From the page: "The competition is heating up in the latest Big Four contest: over who will do the most to help the educational system, and corporate clients, prepare for international financial reporting standards.

Deloitte & Touche, Ernst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and KPMG all claim supremacy in this area, of course. But treading between serious accomplishment and hype, as usual, takes some doing for the independent observer.

The latest competitive round may have begun â€" in the eyes of business journalists, anyway â€" with a press release last Sunday from Deloitte announcing the formation of an IFRS "University Consortium." Working with Ohio State University and Virginia Polytechnic Institute, the accountancy has taken on the task of helping develop college curricula to get caught up in the area of international standards and their relation to generally accepted accounting principles.

Going to the Deloitte website to investigate also connects the reader with a primer on IFRS and U.S. companies, subtitled "implications of an accelerating global trend." That publication suggests the outline Deloitte is using with its clients: explaining IFRS and its costs and benefits, and examining next steps for companies."
