Panel session on accounting blogs
Posted by Christie Malry on June 30, 2010 at 10:55 am
One of the concurrent sessions at this year's American Accounting Association conference is this one:
7.5 Operating an Accounting Blog
Moderator: Bill McCarthy, Michigan State University
(Specialized Knowledge and Applications — 1.5 CH)Panelists:
David Albrecht, The Summa (Concordia College)
Joe Hoyle, Teaching Financial Accounting (University of Richmond)
Ed Ketz, Accounting Cycle (The Pennsylvania State University)
Francine McKenna, re: The Auditors
Tom Selling, The Accounting Onion
It's tempting to go all evil faerie over this - waaah, why didn't they invite me?! But, I'm over it now, so here are my thoughts on the panelists:
Albrecht's blog is a must-read. The Accounting Onion is good quality and thoughtful, if a little dry. re: The Auditors is good for a laugh - McKenna seems to want to end up like Richard Murphy, and all too often tends to let the story get in the way of facts or reason. And I'm afraid I hadn't heard of the other two.
This should be a fascinating discussion, and one that I hope one of the five will take upon themselves to summarise, if the AAA don't do it themselves.
Although I'm a fan of blogging (I run 3 of my own), one of my posts almost 2 years ago was: Blogging myths for accountants. http://www.bookmarklee.co.uk/2008/10/20/blogging-...
My thinking has moved on more recently but the points as stated remain true in my experience.
Indeed, Mark, they should have asked you along (not that you want to be in
San Francisco in August, who would?!). You would have made it a lively
debate!
