Your holiday viewing continues here. The ICAEW's 2010 PD Leake lecture is now available as a web cast. This is very nice for those of us who couldn't get along last Thursday.

It was given by Gregory Waymire of Emory University on the subject of financial stability.  Waymire was trying to find out if IFRS can really be blamed for the financial crisis.  And he concludes that there's no evidence that it can.  As you'll know, I basically agree with him.  Waymire puts the idea to the sword, actually, which is quite fun.

Catch up with it for yourself here.
