Publisher's Note
On March 19 our Student Zone will blossom into Education Zone. Accountants
are lifelong students, constantly having to stay abreast of regulatory changes,
new technology, paperless office movements, etc. It is in this spirit that we
evolve into Education Zone.
Speaking of students, though, there’s an awful lot of money being spent to drive
tuition revenue. $879 million was spent by U.S. colleges and universities on advertising
in 2008, according to TNS Media Intelligence. Of that amount, $294 million was loaded
into TV advertising; $282 million was invested in online advertising; print garnered $154
million; $90 was pumped into radio; outdoor advertising raked in $59 million.
Now all of a sudden my annual five-dollar loss in the NCAA March Madness basketball
pool at my old firm doesn’t seem so bad.

Questions & Advice
Accounting degree online
So I have noticed the advertisements for the Keller Graduate
School of Management and I have to ask, would any Big 4
accounting firms actually hire someone with a master's degree
from Devry? How is an online progam like this perceived? Does
anyone have any insights?

I will graduate with an MBA-Finance this summer. I want to
transition into the accounting profession; what would be the
best approach?

Introduction to IFRS - March 19
In the wake of the increasing globalization of accounting standards, the U.S. and other countries are preparing for convergence to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Unlike U.S. GAAP, which is rules-based in orientation, IFRS is principles-based and depends more on subjective determination and judgment of companies and their auditors.
