HAL - Halliburton's Accounting Might Make You Wonder: Jonathan Weil bloomberg.com June 21-- Investors have shrugged off almost all the bad news at Halliburton Co. the past few years -- accusations of overbilling the U.S. Army and bribing foreign officials, along with scrutiny over business dealings in Iran and non-compete bids on government work. Instead of tanking, the company's stock has soared. The same investors might take notice, though, if Halliburton's financial statements were in doubt, and a former company accounting executive says they are. Anthony Menendez, who was Halliburton's director of technical accounting research and training, has accused the world's second-largest oilfield-services company of using so- called bill-and-hold accounting and other undisclosed practices to ``distort the timing of billions of dollars in revenue.'' In short, Menendez says this allowed Halliburton to book product sales improperly, before they occurred. [cont'd]
