After graduating I went on to serve as the US Patent and Trademark Representative at the San Antonio Public Library. I look forward to working with you and our wonderful students.

    Why Read the WSJ

    August 22, 2022

    Monday August 22 2022

    I recommend on your syllabus that you subscribe at the student rate to the WSJ. Here are a couple of good examples from today Aug 22 of what you might learn.

    I am teaching ACCT 4311 Audit and ACCT 5308 Ethics, the first article addresses both.

    United Kingdom Financial Reporting Council (probably similar to our SEC) is creating a new Register of who can audit public companies in the UK.Those companies are known as Public Interest Entities or PIEs. 

    Clearly this requirement to re register is a step up in barring individuals seen as responsible for botched audits in the past. As you will see in my classes we will read numerous cases of just that.

    ______________

    Meanwhile at the movies. Movie Chains just about went broke during Covid and now  cineworld has. It  is UK based and owns Regal Cinemas.

    click here to read the story.

    The latest movie fad is moving Marvel Comics heroes to the screen. The next will be Dwayne Johnson in Warner's Black Adam  Johnson's movies have grossed $ 5 billion world wide, he is the new Arnold S.
