Mystery. Scandal. Intrigue. You will find all of this and more in the field of accounting. Did you know that the notorious criminal Al Capone was brought to justice not by the FBI, but the IRS? Or, that a middle level audit manager, working on a hunch in the middle of the night to avoid detection, found $3.4 billion of fraudulent accounting entries at Worldcom? It is my goal to bring accounting to life with real examples of how businesses apply (and sometimes misapply) accounting concepts and rules.
