Hi Tim, Maybe you can help me out with Something. I'm
having a lunch soon with a local firm that I've got some
ties to, and am doing a bit of research.
I'm looking for very high level accounting executives,
partner level types, that are industry experts in
Mark to Market pricing, especially if they've done some
research/analysis in the FASB issues as it applies to
the energy traders.
This really great article in today's WSJ, Highlights
some of the murkiness of the present accounting situation.
Message 16746011
Since you're a CPA and have also been witnessing the
chaotic flame-out of ENE, I'm thinking you might have a
thought or two.
Could you point me towards industry publications they
might write in or other organizations and/or online
resources. I can go and do the legwork in terms of reading
the articles to ferret out the actual industry experts.
Unless of course, you happen to have a list handy -vbg-
The gentleman mentioned in the WSJ article obviously come
to mind.
The idea is to find individuals who could increase the
profile and credibility of a Tarnished shop like
A Anderson in Houston, or would help one of the other majors
expand their expertise and market share in this area.
Or individuals who could go to a firm like DYN, CPN, to bulk up
their intellectual "Gravitas" on this increasingly important
accounting issue.
If anyone else has any thoughts on accounting venues dealing
with this, I'd love to hear about it.
Many Thanks,
John |
