Barron's Writer Abe Briloff Exposed Accounting Tricks Used by Companies | Barron's
Few writers exemplified the crusading spirit of Barron's better than Abe Briloff . In the late 1960s, he brought to our readers a new kind of journalism, exposing the accounting tricks that he believed public companies were playing on their shareholders. He knew what he was talking about. When his first piece appeared in 1968, he was a 50-year-old accounting professor at New York City's Baruch College.
Accounting maneuvers had come into vogue in the 1960s, after securities regulation had curbed trading tricks used by stock promoters in earlier eras. Artificial boosts from the accounting treatment called a "pooling of interests" fueled the conglomerate stocks of the '60s "go-go" market. Briloff's first article, "Dirty Pooling," showed how Gulf & Western Industries used pooling to boost earnings as it bought Hollywood studios like Paramount Pictures and Desilu.
Employers added 266K jobs in April, including 4,100 in accounting | Accounting Today
Employers added 266,000 jobs in April, including 4,100 jobs in accounting and bookkeeping services, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday, but the unemployment rate nonetheless ticked up one-tenth of a percentage point to 6.1 percent.
The hiring figures fell far below analyst expectations, and the number of unemployed people, at 9.8 million, showed little change last month. Still, these unemployment figures are far lower than a year ago, although they're far above their levels prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, when the unemployment rate was 3.5 percent and 5.7 million people were unemployed.
Accounting Rules for Energy Tax Credits Divide Utilities, Solar Producers - WSJ
A bill in Congress to boost investments in renewable energy is exposing a rift between some utilities and solar energy companies over changes it would make to decades-old accounting rules.
At issue is how utilities account for clean energy tax credits, a component of the Biden administration's push for green power. The legislation, which was introduced by Senate Democrats, would consolidate credits for renewable energy and apply them across a wider range of technologies. It would also give utilities an opportunity to avoid an accounting requirement known as normalization that forces them to pass along tax savings to customers over time to keep rates steady.
