Business scandals are always with us from the South Sea Bubble to Enron and Parmalat. As accounting forms a central element of any business success or failure, the role of accounting is crucial in understanding business scandals. This book aims to explore the role of accounting, particularly creative accounting and fraud, in business scandals. The book is divided into three parts. In Part A the background and context of creative accounting and fraud is explored. Part B looks at a series of international accounting scandals and Part C draws some themes and implications from the country studies.

This complete coverage of one of the most important towns of Roman Britain is long overdue. Lincoln's City Archaeologist describes in detail the different stages of the Roman occupation that took over the Late Iron Age settlement of the Corieltauvi. The initial occupation by the invading army between AD 50-80 was followed by the foundation of the Colony, with its administrative apparatus and the full public works of forum, baths, and more that developed between 90 and 150. Over the next 150 years, the city expanded enormously and developed links with the hinterland. Later on still, there was new building in the 4th century when the late Roman city became a Christian center. Eventually however, after 4 centuries of Roman occupation, there is evidence of decline and abandonment.

Inheriting an IRA was inspired by everyday questions that Mike Jones, CPA, addresses about this crucial topic. Those questions come from IRA inheritors as well as from professionals in the fields of accounting, law, investment management, and philanthropy. It is written for IRA inheritors and their advisors to use together, because Mr. Jones has found that an informed IRA inheritor working together with a knowledgeable advisor consistently produces the best results. You won’t have to become an expert in order to handle your Inherited IRA the right way. This book will quickly direct you to the information and tips that you’ll need. Advance praise for Inheriting an IRA… "If you have inherited an IRA or expect to, read this book before you touch that account. Mike Jones will save you a lot of money and headaches!" - Natalie B. Choate, Esq., author of Life and Death Planning for Retirement Benefits "Inheriting an IRA is the perfect resource for IRA inheritors and their advisors to use together for understanding and creating Inherited IRA success." - Robert S. Keebler, CPA, MST, AEP (Distinguished) "More than 15% of US wealth is held in the form of IRAs. Michael Jones, a nationally known tax expert, provides sophisticated, yet practical and understandable guidance all heirs must have to protect themselves and maximize the economic benefits from this valuable inherited asset. While most guides focus on those setting up IRAs, this book hones in on what those inheriting these assets must know." - Martin M. Shenkman CPA, MBA, PFS, AEP (Distinguished), JD "The ultimate value of an inherited IRA often depends on how well informed the beneficiary is. The more they know, the longer the inheritance will last. But the sad truth is that most beneficiaries are ill-prepared to inherit an IRA and are left with a mere fraction of what could have been. "Anyone who wishes to leave an IRA or Roth IRA to loved ones must have Inheriting an IRA, by IRA maven Mike Jones, an expert among experts. Nothing is left to chance here. The advice, explanations and warnings in this book are worth a fortune to IRA owners, beneficiaries and professional advisors. Every inherited IRA should come with this essential and detailed guide on navigating the complex web of tax rules surrounding inherited IRAs. Don't leave an IRA without it!" - Ed Slott, CPA (www.irahelp.com)
