Pace University. The topic of international accounting was explored
through interviews with FASB Chairman Robert H. Herz, IASB Vice
Chairman Tom Jones, PricewaterhouseCoopers Global CEO Samuel
A. DiPiazza, Jr., and Grant Thornton CEO Edward E. Nusbaum. Two
panel discussions brought
together accounting professionals from a variety of backgrounds.

issue. |

Showdown Looms Over Legality of Lt. Governor
NEW YORK -- New York’s least favorite reality show continued on into its 31st day today as Republican senators, along with apostate Democrat Pedro Espada Jr., successfully secured a temporary restraining order from a Nassau County judge intended to prevent former MTA chief Richard Ravitch from assuming the duties of lieutenant governor, a move that would have the broken the stalemate that has left the state government paralyzed for several weeks.
Accounting Changes Among Proposals for Regulatory Reform
NEW YORK -- As a response to the near-collapse of the financial system last year, President Barack Obama announced a proposal in mid-June that pushes Congress to give the executive branch of government and the quasi-private Federal Reserve vast new powers to supervise previously unregulated aspects of the economy and reorganize its existing oversight.
CPAs and Lawyers: Kindred Spirits?
NEW YORK -- The legal profession and the profession of accountancy frequently intertwine. As local attorney Richard M. Morris put it recently, “We all solve problems for our clients. We both have the same goal in mind.”
Conference Will Address Changing Health Care Industry
NEW YORK -- The healthcare industry is set to undergo a major facelift as Congress and President Barack Obama attempt to steer the course towards a more universal system for all Americans.
Breakfast Conference to Focus on Bankruptcy Issues
NEW YORK -- The recessionary economy has forced many businesses into bankruptcy, while others struggle to avoid or recover from it. It’s essential that CPAs keep up-to-date on the rules and regulations that govern the reorganization of an entity.
