Professor Elam

I have held three symposiums for Community College Accounting Teachers here at the UNT Dallas Campus. This resulted in Wiley holding an education forum and the Executive Council of the Texas Management Accountants holding meetings.

Saturday August 9, 2008 Professor Barbara Scoefield, University of Dallas, and yours truly, Dennis Elam, delivered two hours each of Continuing Professional Education credit for the Exec Council.   Professor Scoefield discussed SFAS 157 regarding valuation.  The challenge for the immediate future is how to value intangible assets.  The FASB has proposed multiple avenues to reach this goal.  My presentation was closely related. Let Me Put It to You was an introduction to futures, derivatives, and options. This will e an integral part of the Intermediate II curriculum, students take note!  Photos are included on the albums at left, scroll down to Texas IMA. 

We very much enjoyed meeting more folks involved with the growing Certified Management Certification. We look forward to making more friends and meeting more of them in San Antonio.
