accounting is shorterm bad news, longterm excellent news

amazing how Cisco has eluded the sharp knife of the media and financial hounds over accounting chicanery

unless conflict of interest in accounting / auditing is reformed,
unless offshore banking secrecy in balance sheets is reformed,
it will be a lost opp
