Grading The Accountants
from the fail-'em! dept
An analyst at CSFB has come up with an additional rating for companies beyond the buy/sell/hold etc. ratings. This analyst has also started giving letter grades to the accountants who files financial statements for each company. In the wake of the Enron scandal, when everyone now assumes that all accountants are lying bastards, this sort of thing might be useful (assuming you trust the analyst as well - which might be a leap of faith in its own right). Maybe we now need to set up a grading system that will grade the analysts who grade the accountants.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
